EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of Paul Wettin, a crew member on the SS Preussen in 1898. The photograph is part of the renowned book "Rund um die Erde" by C. W. Allers, which beautifully illustrates various aspects of life during that time. Paul Wettin's face exudes strength and determination as he gazes into the distance. His cap sits firmly atop his head, symbolizing his role as a German sailor aboard this North German Lloyd ship en route to Singapore through the Bay of Bengal. The image transports us back to the late 19th century, showcasing both the advancements in transportation and Germany's influence on global trade. As we admire this lithograph print, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates an era when water transport played a vital role in connecting nations across vast distances. Wettin's moustache adds character to his already striking features, while his headdress hints at cultural influences from distant lands encountered during their voyage. This portrait serves as a testament to not only Paul Wettin himself but also to all those who dedicated their lives to maritime exploration and trade. As we delve into this historical piece captured by Christian Wilhelm Allers, it becomes evident that each detail holds significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It reminds us of our shared human history and encourages us to reflect upon the journeys undertaken by individuals like Paul Wettin aboard ships like SS Preussen over a century ago.
