This historical image was featured in the cigarette card album "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" (Pictures of German History) published by Cigaretten-Bilderdienst in Altona-Bahrenfeld, Hamburg, Germany in 1936. In this photograph, Moltke stands tall and resolute as he oversees the operations surrounding him. The colorized version adds vibrancy to this black-and-white snapshot from the late 19th century. With his commanding presence and distinguished uniform, Moltke exemplifies leadership and determination. As one delves into the context behind this image, it becomes evident that it represents a crucial period in European history. The Franco-Prussian War marked a turning point for both France and Germany as they battled for supremacy on the continent.
