EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Hohenzollerns Swollen Head" captures a humorous and comical moment in history. Created by Arthur Moreland, this engraving is a digitally cleaned image from his book "The History of the Hun" published in 1917. In this amusing illustration, we see the Great Elector of Prussia, Frederick I, with an exaggeratedly swollen head. The scene takes place in Paris during a visit by Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King. The French king seems to be amused by Frederick's inflated ego and larger-than-life persona. This artwork not only showcases the wit and humor of Moreland but also provides insight into the historical relationship between France and Germany. It highlights the tensions and rivalries that existed between these two nations during that time period. With its clever depiction of German customs and traditions, this engraving offers an entertaining glimpse into European history. It reminds us that even great leaders can sometimes succumb to vanity or become victims of their own inflated self-importance. Overall, "Hohenzollerns Swollen Head" is a delightful piece that combines humor with historical context. It invites viewers to appreciate both the artistic skill behind it and its ability to bring levity to significant events from our past.
