EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Prince Frederick Charles of Hesse-Kassel, a distinguished Prussian field marshal from the late 19th century. The portrait, taken around 1872 by William Holl, exudes an air of regality and strength. Prince Frederick Charles was not only known for his military prowess but also for his marriage to Princess Margarete of Prussia, who happened to be Queen Victoria's granddaughter. This union between two prominent royal families further solidified their influence during that era. Dressed in a resplendent uniform adorned with gold braid and intricate frogging, Prince Frederick Charles cuts an imposing figure. His well-groomed moustache adds an extra touch of sophistication to his already striking appearance. The photograph captures the essence of Victorian-era masculinity and nobility, as it immortalizes a man who played a significant role in history. It serves as a reminder of the Franco-Prussian War and its consequences - events that shaped nations and altered the course of European politics. Preserved within this engraving from Captain H M Hozier's book on the war are not just pixels on paper; they represent an era long gone but still remembered through images like these. This particular print is part of The Print Collector collection curated by William Mackenzie in London back in 1872. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait today, we can't help but marvel at the timeless elegance captured within its frame—a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance.
