EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Picture of Europe for July 1772" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous artist and currently held in a private collection, this fine art image offers a glimpse into the political landscape of the time. The etching showcases several key players during the partitions of Poland in 1772. The graphic arts style employed here adds depth and character to each figure depicted. Among them are Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great, who was the Empress of Russia at that time. Her influence is evident as she played a crucial role in these partitions. Other notable figures include Stanislaw II August Poniatowski, King of Poland-Lithuania Commonwealth, Leopold II, Frederick William II of Prussia, and Selim III. Each person represents their respective country's interests during this tumultuous period. The partitioning itself refers to the division of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth among neighboring powers such as Russia (Catherine II), Prussia (Frederick William II), and Austria (Leopold II). This event had far-reaching consequences for both Poland and Europe as it marked a decline in Polish sovereignty. As we observe this historical artwork from Library of Congress' Heritage Images collection, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also its significance within European history. It serves as a visual reminder that politics have always shaped nations and influenced their destinies throughout time.
