EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Barbarossa pleads for help from Henry the Lion, 1176" takes us back to a significant moment in German history. This image captures the intense negotiation between two powerful figures of their time - Frederick I Barbarossa and Henry the Lion. Frederick Barbarossa, the Holy Roman Emperor, finds himself in a precarious position as he seeks assistance from Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony. The power struggle between these influential men had reached its peak, forcing them to engage in this crucial dialogue. In this beautifully colored photograph from 1936, we witness Frederick Barbarossa kneeling before Henry the Lion with an air of desperation. The composition highlights their contrasting positions - one pleading for support while the other holds immense authority. This historical snapshot is part of "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" a cigarette card album that aimed to depict pivotal moments in German history. Created by an unknown artist and published by Cigaretten-Bilderdienst Altona-Bahrenfeld in Hamburg, Germany, it serves as both an artistic representation and a valuable educational tool.
