EDITORS COMMENTS
FROM KARLSRUHE TO THE HAGUE ON HORSEBACK, 1889: A Remarkable Journey of Lieutenant Harry von Bohlen Halbach". In this print from the Liszt Collection, we witness a momentous feat accomplished by Lieutenant Harry von Bohlen Halbach in 1889. Mounted on his trusty mare, he embarked on an extraordinary expedition from Karlsruhe to the Hague, covering a staggering distance of approximately 650 kilometers in just seven and a quarter days. Lieutenant von Bohlen Halbach's journey commenced on Tuesday morning, May 28th at five o'clock. With determination etched across his face, he rode tirelessly through picturesque landscapes and historic towns. On his first day alone, he spent ten and a half hours on horseback, conquering an impressive distance of 95 kilometers. Undeterred by fatigue or challenges along the way, our intrepid adventurer pressed forward with unwavering resolve. From resting briefly in Speyer to finding solace in Worms and Obercassel among other stops, each day brought new triumphs as well as moments of respite for both rider and steed. Finally arriving at his destination on June 4th after five hours in saddle over thirty kilometers that day alone – Lieutenant von Bohlen Halbach achieved what many deemed impossible. His remarkable accomplishment stands as a testament to human endurance and the indomitable spirit that drives us to conquer seemingly insurmountable obstacles. This print immortalizes not only the physical journey undertaken but also symbolizes courage and perseverance against all odds. It serves as an inspiration for generations to come – reminding us that with determination and passion burning within our hearts like fireflies illuminating the night sky – no goal is beyond reach.
