EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as the French emperor Napoleon I pays his respects at the tomb of King Frederick the Great of Prussia. Taken on 27 October 1806, this powerful image showcases Napoleon's visit to the crypt of the Garrison Church in Potsdam, Germany. Napoleon, known for his military prowess and strategic genius, stands solemnly before the burial site of Frederick II, who reigned as king from 1740 to 1786. The photograph exudes a sense of reverence and contemplation as Napoleon reflects upon the legacy left behind by this influential monarch. The composition is strikingly composed with its play on light and shadow, emphasizing both Napoleon's stature as an emperor and the historical significance of this encounter. The cigarette card album "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" serves as a testament to how widely recognized and celebrated this particular moment was during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are transported back to a time when empires clashed and alliances were formed. It reminds us that even great leaders like Napoleon took moments to reflect on those who came before them – acknowledging their contributions while shaping their own destinies. This print is not just a visual representation but also an embodiment of history itself – capturing one man's journey through time as he stands before another's final resting place.
