WŁADYSŁAW JAGIEŁŁO (1362 – 1434)

Jagiełło, son of Olgierd, ruler of Lithuania, from 1377 Grand Duke of Lithuania. In 1385 he married Jadwiga of Anjou and concluded a personal union between Lithuania and Poland. As a result, he was baptised and named Ladislaus. In 1386, he became the Polish king. The victory won by Jogaila at Grunwald in 1410 over the Teutonic Order led to an increase in the importance of Poland and its monarch in the international arena, and the union with Lithuania was strengthened in 1413 with the Union of Horodela.

Description

Edition in the form of a stylized scroll with a wax seal suspended on strings. It is printed on decorative paper, similar in texture and properties to the handmade papers used in the old days. An additional characteristic element of the publication are the jagged edges of the sheet, which are stylistically reminiscent of old incunabula affected by the tooth of time. As in all our wall publications, the paper is coated with a finishing matte laminate on both sides, which strengthens it and protects it from moisture and dust. In addition, this treatment makes the scroll more similar to the original parchment. The sheet is wound on wooden rollers topped with knobs with metal fittings. The whole is reminiscent of the scrolls of Roman scriptures or Jewish torah. Author’s binding by Pergamena Publishing House with decorative string for hanging.
