EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a powerful moment in history, showcasing Prussian field marshal August Neidhart, Count of Gneisenau, and Polish lawyer Joachim Nettelbeck standing proudly on the ramparts of Kolberg during the Siege of Kolberg in 1807. This image is part of the "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" cigarette card album from 1936. In this scene, both men exude strength and determination as they represent their respective countries amidst the turmoil of war. Gneisenau's military expertise and leadership are evident in his commanding presence, while Nettelbeck symbolizes the resilience and bravery of the local populace he represents. The fortifications behind them serve as a reminder of the intense battle that took place during this time. The cannon positioned nearby further emphasizes their role in defending their country against Napoleon Bonaparte's forces during the War of Fourth Coalition. This photograph not only showcases two remarkable individuals but also highlights an important chapter in German history. It serves as a testament to human courage and unity against adversity. Despite being taken almost a century after these events occurred, this image preserves their legacy for future generations to admire. It stands as a visual representation of heroism and sacrifice during one of Europe's most tumultuous periods – the Napoleonic Wars.
