EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving portrays Karl August von Hardenberg (1750-1822), a prominent Prussian statesman and Prime Minister of Prussia during the 18th and early 19th centuries. Born into the aristocracy, Hardenberg rose through the ranks of the Prussian nobility to become a trusted advisor and influential figure in the Prussian government. The image, produced in 1885, captures Hardenberg in the prime of his life. He is depicted in formal attire, complete with a powdered wig, a sign of the era's aristocratic fashion. The engraving also includes an elegant dog at his feet, adding a touch of warmth and charm to the portrait. Hardenberg's career reached its pinnacle during the Congress of Vienna in 1815, where he represented Prussia and played a key role in shaping the political landscape of Europe following the Napoleonic Wars. His diplomatic skills and commitment to the restoration of the old European order earned him a place among the great statesmen of his time. This colored engraving offers a glimpse into the past, providing a contemporary view of Hardenberg and the nobility of the 18th and 19th centuries. It serves as a reminder of the significant role that individuals like Hardenberg played in shaping the history of Germany and Europe as a whole.
