EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history. The image captures Pope Urban II as he passionately addresses the crowd during his historic sermon at the market place of Clermont, France on November 27,1095. Pope Urban II, also known as Odo of Chatillon or Otho de Lagery, was not only the head of the Catholic Church but also held power over the Papal States. His influential role is evident as he stands before an eager audience, delivering a speech that would ignite one of the most significant events of medieval Europe – the First Crusade. The engraving from Cassell's Illustrated History of England (published in 1857) adds depth and authenticity to this archival piece. It serves as a window into an era long gone by, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty. The atmosphere depicted in this picture is charged with anticipation and fervor. As Pope Urban II preaches about reclaiming Jerusalem from Muslim control, his words resonate deeply with those gathered around him. The council of Clermont becomes a turning point for Christianity and sets into motion years of conflict between East and West. Ken Welsh's masterful capture brings together elements from different periods - old meets new - creating an intriguing blend that transports us through time. This illustration invites us to reflect on our past while contemplating how it has shaped our present. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, let us remember that history holds valuable lessons for humanity's future endeavors. Let it serve as a reminder that even centuries later, these moments continue to captivate our imagination and shape our understanding of ourselves and our world.
