EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in a moment of electrifying drama, this rare print showcases the astonishing event that unfolded in 1936 at the imperial house in Goslar. The image depicts Henry V, King of Germany and Holy Roman Emperor, being struck by a powerful bolt of lightning. The creator of this photograph remains unknown. The sheer intensity and impact of the lightning strike is palpable as it illuminates the surroundings with its brilliant flash. Henry V's figure stands tall amidst the chaos, his regal presence contrasting starkly against the destructive forces unleashed upon him. This historical incident serves as a reminder of both nature's unpredictability and humanity's vulnerability. It symbolizes an extraordinary convergence between man and elements beyond his control – a collision between earthly power and celestial might. The location itself adds to the significance of this photograph; Goslar, nestled in Lower Saxony, Germany, holds deep historical roots dating back centuries. This ancient city witnessed countless tales unfold within its walls, but none quite as awe-inspiring as this fateful encounter between monarch and thunderous skies. Preserved within "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" an esteemed cigarette card album from 1936 produced by Cigaretten-Bilderdienst Altona-Bahrenfeld in Hamburg, this image offers us a glimpse into one remarkable chapter of German history. Its vivid colors bring to life not only Henry V's perilous predicament but also capture our imagination with its timeless allure.
