EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense Battle of Lobositz, which took place on October 1st, 1756. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 18th century, showcases a pivotal moment in history - the opening battle of the Seven Years War. In this scene, Frederick II of Prussia emerges victorious as he defeats the Holy Roman/Austrian Empire commanded by Field Marshal von Browne. The image is filled with chaos and action as smoke billows from cannons and guns fire relentlessly. The ground is littered with fallen soldiers and horses, testifying to the brutal nature of warfare during that time period. Carriages are scattered across the battlefield while wounded soldiers struggle for survival amidst a formation still holding strong. This historic battle marked a turning point in European history and solidified Frederick II's reputation as "Frederick the Great". It was a clash between two powerful empires vying for dominance over Europe. The engraving serves as a visual reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely on both sides. Captured within this print is not only an artistic representation but also a glimpse into one of humanity's darkest endeavors - war. It stands as a testament to human resilience and reminds us to reflect upon our past actions while striving for peace in our present world.
