The image, taken from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" transports us back to this pivotal event during the Middle Ages. Mounted on horseback, Charles Martel is portrayed as a formidable leader and military genius. As he rides through an avenue in Paris, surrounded by cheering crowds and guarded by armed forces, one can feel the energy and excitement that filled the air on that historic day. The photograph's monochrome aesthetic adds to its timeless appeal, emphasizing both its historical significance and artistic value. It serves as a powerful reminder of Europe's struggle against external threats during this era.
