Emperor Wilhelm II, the regal figure of Germany's late 19th and early 20th centuries, stands proudly in contrast to the enchanting tale of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, depicted in Albrecht Dürer's "Friedrich der Weise" from the 1520s. The mysterious piper, who led rats out of Hamelin using his magical pipe, is a stark reminder of the folklore and mythology that intertwines German history. Meanwhile, in the modern era, Frederick III, the elector of Saxony, is portrayed in a more earthly manner by Lucas Cranach the Elder. Amidst these historical figures, the grandeur of the International Exhibition of 1876 in Philadelphia showcases the progress and innovation of the time, with its impressive views of the ground and buildings.
