Original antique engraving titled “Rollo the Ranger Attacks Paris.”
This dramatic historical print portrays the Viking leader Rollo (later Duke of Normandy) during the legendary Norse assault on Paris in the 9th century — a defining moment in Viking expansion and the eventual founding of Normandy.
The scene captures Rollo and his warriors launching a river assault, with longships, weapons, and fortified medieval walls forming a powerful composition of siege warfare and Norse conquest.
A striking subject for collectors of Viking history and medieval European conflict.
This engraving originates from the late-19th-century historical illustration collection:
