EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Mont Auxois and the iconic statue of Vercingetorix in France, dating back to 1879. The photograph showcases the historical significance of this location, as it was once ruled by the Gallic chieftain Vercingetorix. Chosen as king by the powerful Arverni tribe, who resided in what is now known as Auvergne, Vercingetorix led a valiant rebellion against Roman rule in 52 BC. The image portrays Mont Auxois rising proudly from the picturesque countryside, creating a stunning backdrop for the statue of Vercingetorix. This engraving-like landscape exudes an air of tranquility and timelessness. The presence of a railway track adds an interesting contrast between ancient history and modern transportation. Situated in Burgundy's Cote d'Or region, this enchanting village holds within its hills countless stories waiting to be discovered. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece captured during the nineteenth century, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in Gaul's past. The print collector responsible for immortalizing this scene has skillfully depicted both nature's beauty and mankind's struggle for freedom through their lens. Let us appreciate not only their artistic talent but also how they have preserved history within these frames.
