EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the foundation of the Swiss Confederation. The scene depicted is none other than the swearing of the oath in the meadow of Rutli on 1 August 1291. This woodcut, created by Jakob Ruff for Von dem frommen und ersten Eydgenossen Wilhem Thellen, a folk play representing Canton of Uri, was performed by Zurich townspeople on New Year's Day in 1545. In this medieval setting, we witness a group of determined men gathered together to solidify their alliance and lay down the groundwork for what would become one of Europe's most enduring nations. Clad in traditional attire, these Swiss pioneers stand tall as they take their vow with unwavering conviction. The legend surrounding this event has been passed down through generations, symbolizing bravery and resilience. The image showcases not only historical figures but also William Tell himself – an iconic sharpshooter who played a pivotal role in Switzerland's struggle for independence. As we gaze upon this woodcut masterpiece, we are transported back to that fateful day when these visionary individuals set forth on a path towards freedom and unity. It serves as a powerful reminder of Switzerland's rich heritage and its people's unyielding spirit throughout centuries.
