EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases King Frederick William IV of Prussia, a significant figure in German history. The portrait captures the essence of this influential monarch who played a crucial role in the completion of Cologne Cathedral, an iconic Gothic masterpiece that had been left unfinished for centuries. The unknown creator skillfully portrays Friedrich Wilhelm IV with his distinctive curly hair and regal attire, adorned with epaulettes that signify his royal status. His commanding presence and dignified expression reflect the power and authority he held as king. Christian Tangermann's miniature serves as the inspiration for this remarkable image, which is part of "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte" a book featuring cigarette-card portrait miniatures from various historical periods. This particular photograph was taken in 1933 Germany, during a time when political changes were reshaping the nation. As we gaze upon this striking portrayal of King Frederick William IV, we are reminded not only of his contributions to architecture but also his significance as a ruler. He symbolizes an era marked by monarchy and sovereignty while embodying the spirit of nineteenth-century Prussia. This print offers us a glimpse into history—a visual testament to one man's impact on both art and politics—an enduring reminder of how individuals can shape their world through determination and vision.
