EDITORS COMMENTS
In this color lithograph, we are transported back to the 18th century, where two legendary figures stand side by side. The print depicts King Frederick the Great and the venerable 85-year-old General Zieten in a moment of camaraderie and respect. Frederick II, known as "Der Alte Fritz" was a prominent figure in Prussian history. As one of Europe's most influential monarchs, his reign saw significant military victories and cultural advancements. Standing tall beside him is General Hans Joachim von Zieten, an esteemed cavalry commander who fought alongside Frederick during numerous campaigns. The image beautifully captures their friendship and mutual admiration. Their expressions reflect years of shared experiences on the battlefield, as well as a deep understanding of each other's sacrifices for their beloved Prussia. This lithograph is part of a series titled "Der alte Fritz in funfzig Bildern fur Jung und Alt" (The Old Fritz in Fifty Pictures for Young and Old), created by Carl Rochling and Richard Knotel around 1910. It showcases not only the historical significance but also the artistic talent behind its creation. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the indomitable spirit that defined these old soldiers' lives – bravery, loyalty, and unwavering dedication to their country. This print serves as a timeless tribute to their enduring legacy within German history and culture.
