EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant lithograph captures a momentous scene from history, depicting Frederick the Great receiving tribute from the Silesians in the grand townhall of Breslau. Painted by Richard Knoetel, this colourful print transports us back to 1741 during the War of the Austrian Succession. In this image, we witness King Frederick II, also known as "Old Fritz" surrounded by his royal court and distinguished guests. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as he graciously accepts tribute from the Silesian people, symbolizing their loyalty and submission to Prussian rule. The artist's attention to detail brings every figure to life, showcasing their elaborate attire and regal demeanor. Through Knoetel's skilled brushwork, we gain insight into not only Frederick's commanding presence but also his significance as a key figure in European history. This lithograph was created for "Der alte Fritz in funfzig Bildern fur Jung und Alt" an illustrated book published around 1910 that chronicles important moments in Frederick's life. It features illustrations by Carl Rochling and Richard Knotel, both renowned artists of their time. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, it serves as a reminder of Frederick the Great's influential reign over Prussia and his lasting impact on German history.
