EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical event - the Coronation at Cracow of Louis I of Hungary as King of Poland in 1370. The image, taken in 1890 by an unknown creator, is part of the renowned "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" collection by Edmund Ollier. Louis I of Hungary, who inherited Poland after his uncle Casimir III the Great passed away, ascended to the Polish throne amidst mixed sentiments from its people. This engraving portrays a solemn moment during the coronation ceremony where Louis kneels before his subjects, pledging his commitment to their country. The photograph transports us back to the 14th century, offering a glimpse into this grand royal event. It showcases a group of men dressed in medieval attire surrounding Louis I as he assumes his role as monarch. The setting appears to be indoors, possibly within Cracow's regal walls. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this portrait. Every detail is meticulously captured – from the intricate clothing worn by those present to the expressions on their faces. Through this image, we are reminded of both Poland's rich history and its complex relationship with Hungarian rule during that era. As we observe this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection, we cannot help but appreciate how it brings together artistry and historical significance into one frame.
