EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic figure of King Frederick William I on horseback, with the picturesque city of Potsdam serving as a breathtaking backdrop. Taken around 1735 by an anonymous German School artist, this historic image showcases the sovereign ruler in all his regal glory. Dressed in a formal uniform befitting his status, King Frederick William I exudes power and authority as he sits atop his noble steed. The composition highlights not only his commanding presence but also emphasizes the close bond between man and animal, symbolizing strength and unity. As the fourth King of Prussia from 1786 to 1797, Frederick William II played a significant role in shaping Germany's political landscape during his reign. Born into royalty as the son of Prince Augustus William of Prussia, he carried on his family's legacy with grace and determination. The photograph offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when monarchs held sway over their realms with unwavering sovereignty. It serves as a reminder of the aristocracy that once governed nations and shaped history. Now preserved for posterity, this remarkable image is part of Schloss Sanssouci's collection in Potsdam, Brandenburg, Germany. While its copyright status may have expired due to its age, it is essential to consult national copyright laws before any potential use or reproduction.
