EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases the intricate and symbolic "Device of Louis XII" from 1878. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, this artwork is now part of a private collection. The device belonged to Louis XII, who reigned as King of France from 1498 to 1515. The motto "Cominus et Eminus" meaning "From Far and Near" is prominently displayed alongside the emblem. This device was originally used by Louis XII's grandfather, who established the Order of the Porcupine in 1397. The emblem features a majestic crown atop a shield adorned with various symbols representing French royalty and heritage. At its center stands a proud hedgehog, symbolizing vigilance and protection against enemies. Surrounding it are banners displaying intricate patterns that reflect the Renaissance era's artistic style prevalent during the sixteenth century. This engraving serves as both an exquisite piece of art and a historical artifact, offering us insight into medieval science and literature. It was featured in Paul Lacroix's book titled "Science and Literature in the Middle Ages" published in London. Thanks to Ken Welsh's expertise, this remarkable print has been preserved for generations to appreciate its beauty while unraveling centuries-old stories hidden within its detailed craftsmanship.
