EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving portrays Edwin Freiherr von Manteuffel (1809-1885), a renowned German military leader who rose to the rank of Generalfeldmarschall during the 19th century. Manteuffel's military career began in the Prussian Army, where he distinguished himself in various engagements, including the Danish Wars and the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. However, his greatest achievements came during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871, where he commanded the Second Army and played a crucial role in the Battle of Sedan, resulting in the capture of the French Emperor Napoleon III. Manteuffel's strategic prowess, tactical acumen, and strong leadership earned him the respect and admiration of his soldiers and the German people. His military successes significantly contributed to the unification of Germany under the Prussian crown. This colorful engraving, produced by the skilled hand of G. Klose for the Historia Universal publication in 1885, captures the essence of Manteuffel's military stature and his place in German history. The detailed depiction of Manteuffel's uniform, complete with his distinctive white gloves, adds to the authenticity and historical significance of the image. This print offers a glimpse into the life of one of Germany's most celebrated military heroes and a testament to the rich military history of Europe during the 19th century.
