EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming moment in history as Crown Prince Frederick of Prussia selflessly gives bread to the poor. The image, a colour lithograph by Carl Rochling, depicts young Frederick using his own pocket money to purchase bread and distribute it among those less fortunate in Tangermunde, Germany. The scene is taken from the book "Der alte Fritz in funfzig Bildern fur Jung und Alt" (Paul Kittel, c 1910), which showcases illustrations by both Rochling and Richard Knotel. It beautifully portrays the compassion and generosity of this future king during his childhood. Crown Prince Frederick's act of kindness exemplifies not only his personal character but also the values upheld by monarchy. His gesture highlights the importance of charity and empathy towards those facing hardship. This historical snapshot serves as a reminder that even individuals born into privilege can use their position to make positive change within society. The image transports us back to 18th century Prussia, where King Frederick II (also known as Old Fritz) reigned over a nation grappling with social inequality. Through this photograph, we witness an intimate moment between royalty and commoners—a testament to the power of compassion transcending societal divides. As we reflect on this touching display of humanity, let us remember that acts of generosity have no boundaries or limitations—whether they occur centuries ago or today—and continue to inspire us all towards creating a more compassionate world for everyone.
