EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Albert Baur depicts a freight wagon being guarded by Landsknecht mercenaries during the 19th century. The image is part of the Bildersaal Deutscher Geschichte collection and showcases the historical significance of these German soldiers. The scene portrays a group of heavily armed Landsknechts surrounding the wagon, ready to protect its valuable cargo. These mercenaries were known for their distinctive clothing and formidable combat skills, making them highly sought after in times of conflict. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight not only the military prowess of these soldiers but also provide insight into transportation methods during this era. The wagonette, hitched to horses, represents an essential means of transport for goods and passengers alike. As we delve into history through this artwork, we are transported back to a time when Europe was divided into various regions with different armies protecting their territories. This particular depiction focuses on Germany's northern region and sheds light on its rich medieval past. Through Baur's skilled craftsmanship, we gain a glimpse into the late Middle Ages and witness how mercenary troops played a crucial role in safeguarding trade routes. Their presence ensured safe passage along treacherous roads while offering protection against potential threats.
