EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Rauch's magnificent statue of Frederick the Great in Berlin, captured in 1890. The equestrian statue, designed by Christian Daniel Rauch in 1839 and unveiled in 1851 at Unter den Linden, stands as a powerful tribute to King Frederick II of Prussia (1712-1786). The image portrays the grandeur of this historic monument set against a backdrop of an avenue lined with railings and bookended by majestic buildings. A group of background people adds a sense of scale to the scene, emphasizing the statue's imposing size. The monochrome aesthetic lends an air of timelessness to the photograph, transporting us back to the nineteenth century when this remarkable artwork was still relatively new. It is fascinating to imagine how passersby would have marveled at this regal representation while going about their daily lives on that day so long ago. This print is sourced from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History". Volume IV - Modern History, authored by Edmund Ollier and published by Cassell and Company Ltd. Its inclusion within this comprehensive historical account further underscores its significance as not just a work of art but also as an emblematic symbol representing Prussian royalty and German history. Whether you are drawn to its artistic beauty or intrigued by its historical context, this print offers a glimpse into both the past glory of Berlin and the enduring legacy left behind by one of Europe's most influential monarchs.
