Frederick the Great - A Defeated Monarch
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a poignant moment in history, depicting King Frederick the Great of Prussia after his army's devastating defeat at the Battle of Kolin on 18 June 1757. The image showcases the monarch looking despondent and disappointed, his regal demeanor overshadowed by the weight of defeat. The unknown creator skillfully brings to life this pivotal event from German history, using a painting made around 1900 as inspiration. The color and detail in this photograph add depth and emotion to Frederick's expression, conveying his sense of loss and despair. The Battle of Kolin was a significant turning point during the French and Indian War, where Frederick's forces were defeated by the Austrians in modern-day Czech Republic. This defeat marked a major setback for Prussia and had far-reaching consequences for European politics. Displayed within an album titled "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" part of a cigarette card collection from Cigaretten-Bilderdienst in Altona-Bahrenfeld, Hamburg, Germany (1936), this print serves as both historical documentation and artistic representation. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of the human side behind great historical events – even powerful monarchs like Frederick can experience moments of vulnerability. It is through such visual records that we gain insight into our shared past and appreciate how triumphs and defeats shape our world.
