EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Tilly in the gravediggers house" captures a haunting scene from German history. Taken in 1936, this image is part of the "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" (Pictures of German History) album, published by Cigaretten-Bilderdienst in Altona-Bahrenfeld, Hamburg. In the photograph, we see an interior setting with dim lighting and antique furniture. The room is adorned with candles that cast eerie shadows on the walls. At its center stands a man known as Johann Tserclaes, Count of Tilly. He was a prominent figure during the 17th century and served as a Catholic commander for Germany. Count Tilly met his tragic end during the Battle of Rain in Bavaria when he was wounded by a cannonball. Despite receiving medical attention, he succumbed to tetanus just days later. This historical event inspired Wilhelm Camphausen to depict it in his book "Tilly Im Totengraberhauschen" which dates back to 1559-1632. The unknown creator of this print has captured both the somber atmosphere and historical significance surrounding Count Tilly's death. The image serves as a reminder of Germany's rich past and highlights how art can immortalize important moments in history for future generations to reflect upon.
