Titelprent voor: Histoire de Charlemagne, ca. 800 1832 - 1900

This title print, created by Adolphe François Pannemaker, depicts Charlemagne's passage through the Alps. The illustration, which likely served as a frontispiece for a book on Charlemagne, showcases the grandeur of the landscape, with the figure of Charlemagne leading his army in a winding mountain pass. The scene, drawn in delicate lines and rendered in a dark gray monochrome, conveys the dramatic scale of the historical event and its impact on the viewer.
