EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "An Incident in the Life of Frederick the Great, 'Bon Soir, Messieurs'" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The print showcases a night scene within the confines of an old castle, where Frederick the Great finds himself surrounded by Austrian officers. In this tense encounter, we witness the coolness and composure of the Prussian king as he addresses his captors with polite words. The room is dimly lit, adding to the mysterious atmosphere that envelops this incident. Despite being outnumbered and overwhelmed by enemy troops, Frederick stands tall and exudes an air of royalty. His presence commands respect even in such dire circumstances. This illustration captures a pivotal event during the Battle of Lissa when Frederick was taken prisoner by Austrian forces. It highlights his resilience and unwavering determination amidst adversity. The French influence on European culture is also evident through references to France's involvement in supporting Frederick during this period. The enchanting castle setting adds a touch of fairy tale-like charm to this historical depiction. It serves as a reminder that even great leaders like Frederick faced challenging moments but managed to maintain their dignity and grace under pressure. Arthur Kampf's masterful engraving transports us back in time, allowing us to witness this remarkable incident firsthand. It invites contemplation on themes such as courage, diplomacy, and leadership while reminding us that history often unfolds within ancient walls like those depicted here.
