EDITORS COMMENTS
The 1st Silesian Army, led by Prussian field marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blucher, makes a historic crossing of the River Rhine near Kaub on New Year's night in 1813-1814. This print captures the momentous event from "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" (Pictures of German History), an album published in 1936. In pursuit of the French forces, the Prussian and Russian armies brave the cold winter night to traverse one of Europe's most iconic rivers. The image showcases the determination and courage of these soldiers as they navigate through icy waters towards their objective. The composition is filled with vibrant colors that bring life to this historical scene. The deep blues and purples of the river contrast beautifully with the warm hues emanating from torches held by soldiers on both sides. It creates a sense of drama and urgency, highlighting the significance of this military maneuver. This photograph not only commemorates a crucial moment in European history but also pays tribute to those who fought for their country's freedom.
