EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases Emperor Otto the Great, a prominent figure from the 10th century. The creator of this intriguing image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. In this depiction, Emperor Otto I stands proudly with the Holy Lance by his side. The Holy Lance, also known as the Spear of Destiny or the Lance of Longinus, holds legendary significance as it is believed to be the very lance that pierced Jesus' side during his crucifixion. Countless relics claim to be fragments or replicas of this sacred artifact. Taken from "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" a cigarette card album published in Germany in 1936, this photograph offers a glimpse into both myth and history. It transports us back in time to witness King Otto I's reign as Holy Roman Emperor and his connection to religious symbolism. The vibrant colors and attention to detail bring life to this historical moment captured on film. As we gaze upon Emperor Otto's regal presence atop his majestic horse, we are reminded of Germany's rich cultural heritage and its deep-rooted faith. This print serves as a visual portal connecting past and present—a testament to human fascination with legends and our eternal quest for understanding our collective history.
