EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Robert von Spalart in 1810, showcases the regal splendor of the Scepter and Throne of the Frankish Kings, Dagobert I and Charlemagne. The image includes three significant artifacts: Throne 164, Scepter 166 of Dagobert I, Hand of Justice 165, and Scepter 167 of Charlemagne. Dagobert I, the illustrious King of the Franks, is depicted seated majestically on Throne 164, adorned with intricate carvings and rich fabrics. In his right hand, he holds Scepter 166, a symbol of his royal power and authority. The scepter is topped with a golden orb and a cross, representing the unity and protection of his kingdom. Standing beside Dagobert, Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great, holds Scepter 167. Charlemagne, who succeeded Dagobert as King of the Franks, is renowned for his military prowess and his role in the Carolingian Renaissance. The scepter in his hand, with its elaborate decorations and a cross at its tip, reflects his status as a powerful monarch. Between the two kings, the Hand of Justice 165 is displayed. This symbol, often depicted as a hand holding a sword and scales, represents the impartial application of law and justice. The inclusion of this emblem underscores the importance of the rule of law during the Frankish period. This exquisite engraving, taken from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages, offers a glimpse into the rich history and grandeur of the Frankish monarchy. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors bring the image to life, transporting us back to an era of kings, thrones, and scepters.
