The Burghers of Riquewihr Called to Arms - A Glimpse into 16th Century France
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous scene from the rich history of Riquewihr, a charming town in Alsace, France. The artwork, a vibrant color lithograph by Jean-Jacques Waltz (Hansi), depicts the burghers of Riquewihr being called to arms during the 16th century. In this amusing illustration from "L'Histoire d'Alsace" by L'Oncle Hansi, we witness an array of characters preparing for battle with both humor and determination. Men and women alike don their traditional armor as they gather in the town square, armed with pikes and halberds. Even children can be seen eagerly joining the preparations, showcasing the unity and resilience of this community. The image not only offers insight into military practices of that era but also provides a glimpse into daily life during times of conflict. It serves as a reminder that even amidst war, people find ways to maintain their sense of humor and camaraderie. With its vivid colors and intricate details, this piece transports us back in time to experience firsthand the spirit and strength exhibited by these brave burghers. As we admire this historical gem captured through Waltz's artistic lens, let us appreciate their unwavering resolve in defending their beloved town against any threat that may have loomed over them centuries ago.
