EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Christiane Vulpius, a prominent figure in German history during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The portrait, taken in 1933 by an unknown creator, captures the essence of this remarkable woman who was both mistress and wife to renowned German writer Johann Wolfgang Goethe. Featured in "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte" a book of cigarette-card portrait miniatures depicting influential figures from the past four hundred years, this image offers a glimpse into Christiane Vulpius' life. Her profile is delicately portrayed, highlighting her elegance and poise. Christiane Vulpius played a significant role as Goethe's muse and companion for many years. Their relationship defied societal norms of the time, making her an intriguing subject for historical study. This photograph allows us to connect with her on a personal level despite being captured over a century after her passing. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the image while emphasizing its timeless quality. It serves as a reminder that even though times change, certain individuals leave an indelible mark on history. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Images, we are transported back to Germany in the thirties—a period marked by political turbulence and cultural transformation. Through this photograph, we can appreciate not only Christiane Vulpius' beauty but also her resilience as she navigated through challenging circumstances alongside one of Germany's greatest literary minds.
