EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The barber climbed the stairs towards the Kings chamber, past the numerous armed guards" takes us back to a time of medieval grandeur and intrigue. The image, captured in a vibrant colour litho by Job (pseudonym for Onfray de Breville) in 1905, depicts a scene from the book Louis XI. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to a French castle during the 15th century. The barber is seen ascending the majestic stone staircase towards the King's chamber. He navigates his way through an array of heavily armed guards who stand resolute with halberds in hand. The attention to detail in this piece is remarkable; every element contributes to its historical authenticity. From the intricate costumes worn by both soldiers and civilians alike, to the imposing armor displayed throughout, it truly captures the essence of this era. This image not only showcases military might but also provides insight into daily life within these castle walls. It offers glimpses into various aspects such as dwelling arrangements and even hints at female soldiers within their ranks. With its rich history and visual storytelling ability, this print serves as a window into France's past under Louis XI's reign. It reminds us of an age where castles stood tall as symbols of power and prestige while evoking our imagination with tales fit for fairytales or legends.
