EDITORS COMMENTS
The German Emperor William II (1859-1941) celebrates his 70th birthday in the castle of Doorn in Holland, as depicted in this engraving from 'Le Petit Journal Illustre' in 1929. The image captures a momentous occasion, considering that just ten years prior, the German Emperor had sentenced Lloyd George to death after the First World War. The atmosphere is one of both celebration and exile. Surrounded by crockery and bottles of alcohol, William II raises a glass of champagne to toast his milestone birthday. Despite being far away from his homeland, he remains resolute and patriotic, symbolizing the resilience of Germany during this tumultuous period. The composition highlights the human side of history with its focus on food and drink. It reminds us that even powerful figures like William II engage in moments of joy and reflection amidst political turmoil. Stefano Bianchetti's skillful execution brings life to this historical event through intricate details such as Lee Enfield rifles leaning against a wall – reminders of past conflicts. This print serves as a testament to an era marked by intense nationalism and international tensions. It invites viewers to contemplate the complex emotions experienced by those involved in shaping world events at that time.
