EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Lothair, Carolingian King of West Francia (941-968) This striking handcolored copperplate print depicts Lothair II, also known as Lothair of France or Lothair the Blind, who ruled as the King of West Francia from 941 to 968. The image, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard, is taken from the comprehensive work "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," published in Paris in 1834. Lothair is shown wearing the regal attire of a medieval monarch. He wears a tall, conical crown adorned with intricate designs and precious stones, symbolizing his royal status. The king's tunic is richly decorated with elaborate patterns and embellishments, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the Carolingian court. The tunic's long sleeves are rolled up to the elbows, revealing the intricate details of his bracers. Lothair's portrait is a testament to the artistic skill of Leopold Massard, who masterfully captured the essence of medieval fashion and the regal bearing of a king. The meticulous handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a captivating representation of the past. Lothair's reign was marked by political instability and conflict, including a rebellion against his father, Louis IV, and the struggle for power with his brother, Louis V. Despite these challenges, Lothair is remembered for his efforts to maintain the Carolingian dynasty and preserve the territorial integrity of West Francia. This beautiful and historically significant print offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of medieval history, providing a window into the world of the Carolingian kings and their opulent court. The intricate details of Lothair's costume and the artistry of the print itself serve as a reminder of the enduring allure of the past and the importance of preserving historical records for future generations.
