EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting King Frederick the Great of Prussia standing proudly on the hill at Borna during the Battle of Leuthen on 5 December 1757. Despite facing a much larger Austrian force, Frederick and his army emerged victorious, marking a significant turning point in the war. The image is taken from "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" a cigarette card album published by Cigaretten-Bilderdienst in Altona-Bahrenfeld, Hamburg, Germany in 1936. It showcases an extraordinary blend of artistry and historical significance. In this vibrant color photograph, we see King Frederick II mounted on his horse overlooking the battlefield. His commanding presence exudes confidence and determination as he leads his troops to victory against all odds. The rolling hills behind him add depth to the composition while symbolizing both geographical features and strategic advantages. This image not only immortalizes one of Europe's most renowned military leaders but also serves as a testament to human resilience and courage in times of adversity. It reminds us that even when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges, great leaders can inspire their armies to achieve remarkable feats. As we gaze upon this print today, it transports us back to that fateful day in Prussian Silesia over two centuries ago. It invites us to reflect upon the sacrifices made by those who fought for their countries' independence and reminds us of the enduring power of leadership and determination throughout history.
