Queen Victoria Visiting the Tomb of Frederick the Great, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Queen Victoria Visiting the Tomb of Frederick the Great, 1858. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort, during their recent visit to Prussia, inspected the tomb of Frederick the Great. They were accompanied on the occasion by the Prince and Princess of Prussia, the Prince and Princess Frederick William, &c. In our Engraving the Prince of Prussia is represented directing her Majesty's attention to the tomb; to his right are the Prince and Princess Frederick William; immediately behind the Queen is Prince Albert; and at his side is the Princess of Prussia...The remains of Frederick the Great lie in a tomb beneath the pulpit of the Garnison Kirche (Church of the Garrison) in Potsdam. They are inclosed in a plain metal sarcophagus above ground. His sword, originally laid upon it, was carried off by Napoleon, and all traces of it are lost; but on each side of the pulpit, over the tomb, now hang the eagles and standards taken from Napoleon's armies by the Prussians; a fitting retribution, and as it were an atonement, to the shade of the hero for this paltry theft. The other tomb-which is of marble, with metal knobs at the corners-in the same vault, is that of William I'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, taken in 1858, depicts Queen Victoria and Prince Albert paying their respects to the tomb of Frederick the Great at the Garnison Kirche in Potsdam, Prussia. The royal couple, accompanied by members of the Prussian royal family, are seen gathered around the tomb, with the Prince of Prussia pointing out its notable features to the intrigued Queen. Frederick the Great's tomb, located beneath the pulpit of the church, is a simple yet significant monument. The remains of the Prussian monarch are enclosed in a plain metal sarcophagus, above which hang the eagles and standards taken from Napoleon's armies as victories by the Prussians. The other tomb in the same vault is that of William I. The image is derived from an engraving published in the Illustrated London News in 1858. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's visit to Prussia marked a significant moment in Anglo-Prussian relations, as both monarchs shared a deep admiration for each other and their respective military prowess. The visit to Frederick the Great's tomb served as a poignant reminder of the historical connection between the two nations and their monarchs.
