EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "If Thou Give Me Victory Over These Foes I Will Be Baptised In Thy Name" transports us back to the medieval era, specifically depicting a significant moment in history. The plate from "The Story of France" by Mary MacGregor showcases the legendary Clovis, the first king of the Franks to unite an entire barbarian nation. Clovis, portrayed on horseback with his arms outstretched in prayer, is seen wearing armor and holding a military standard. This powerful image captures his unwavering faith and determination as he pleads for victory over his foes. It was during the Battle of Tolbiac that Clovis made a solemn promise to convert to Catholicism if he emerged triumphant. This historic scene beautifully illustrates not only religious conversion but also leadership and courage amidst turbulent times known as the Dark Ages. The artist's use of vibrant colors adds depth and intensity to this poignant moment in Gaulish history. Through this artwork, we witness Clovis' transformation from a fierce warrior into a devout Christian ruler who would shape the destiny of France. This print serves as a reminder of how faith can inspire individuals even in times of conflict and uncertainty. Displayed within private collections today, this remarkable piece by William Rainey continues to captivate viewers with its rich historical narrative and artistic brilliance.
