EDITORS COMMENTS
The print of Rutlischwur captures a pivotal moment in Swiss history, depicting the legendary oath taken by Swiss leaders in the meadow of Rutli (or Grutli) in 1307. This solemn vow to uphold Swiss independence has since served as the foundation of Swiss policy, shaping the country's identity and guiding its actions for centuries.
In this historic image, we see the leaders gathered together in unity, pledging their allegiance to one another and to their shared values of freedom and sovereignty. The lush green meadow serves as a fitting backdrop for this significant event, symbolizing growth, renewal, and the enduring strength of the Swiss nation.
The Oath of Rutli is not just a mere historical footnote; it is a living testament to the unwavering spirit of the Swiss people and their commitment to self-determination. It reminds us that even in times of uncertainty and upheaval, there are certain principles worth fighting for – principles that transcend time and place.
As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded of the courage and conviction displayed by those brave leaders who stood on that meadow so long ago. Their legacy continues to inspire us today, serving as a reminder that true independence is not given but earned through sacrifice and dedication.
