EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph depicts a significant historical encounter between two influential figures of the 18th century. In the image, we see Frederick the Great, renowned monarch of Prussia (1712-1786), engaged in conversation with Voltaire, the eminent French philosopher (1694-1778). The print beautifully captures their intellectual exchange and highlights their respective roles as key players during the Enlightenment period. Frederick II, also known as "Old Fritz" was not only a powerful monarch but also an avid patron of arts and sciences. His reign marked a pivotal era for Prussia's development and expansion. On the other hand, Voltaire, born François-Marie Arouet, was one of France's most celebrated writers and philosophers. He championed reason, tolerance, and freedom of thought throughout his prolific career. The illustration is taken from "House of Hohenzollern in Pictures and Words" by Carl Rohling and Richard Sternfeld – a publication that delves into the history of this noble German dynasty. Published around 1900 by Martin Oldenbourg in Berlin, this litho offers us a glimpse into an important moment where politics met philosophy. Through this image, we are reminded of how these great minds shaped European history through their ideas and actions. It serves as a testament to their enduring legacy within both Germanic culture and French intellectual tradition.
