EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Chateau de Montfort in Montfort-l'Amaury, France. Captured between 1882 and 1884 by artist S le Pippre, this image showcases the remains of a once majestic castle that stood tall for centuries. The Chateau de Montfort holds great historical significance as it was the birthplace of Simon de Montfort, the 6th Earl of Leicester, in 1208. However, during the tumultuous Hundred Years War, this grand structure fell victim to destruction at the hands of English forces. Through this engraving from "La France et les Francais a Travers les Siecles" we witness the fortification's ruins standing as a testament to its former glory. The tower that still stands amidst the rubble serves as a poignant reminder of its rich past. Located in Yvelines, France, these remnants evoke both awe and melancholy. The monochrome presentation adds an air of mystery and timelessness to this nineteenth-century scene captured by S le Pippre. As we gaze upon this print from The Print Collector collection curated by F Roy editor in Saint-Antoine during that era, we are transported back in time. It allows us to reflect on history's impact on our present-day world while appreciating the beauty found within decayed structures like Chateau de Montfort.
