EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting the aftermath of the Battle of Lech on 4th April 1632. The image showcases German Catholic commander Johann Tserclaes, Count of Tilly, fleeing on his horse after being wounded by a cannonball during the battle. This fateful encounter ultimately led to his demise from tetanus just days later. The photograph is part of "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" (Pictures of German History), an intriguing cigarette card album from 1936. It was created by an unknown artist and published by Cigaretten-Bilderdienst in Altona-Bahrenfeld, Hamburg, Germany. In this vividly colored image, we witness Count Tilly galloping away from the chaos and destruction that surrounds him. His injured state is evident as he clings onto his horse for dear life. The intensity and emotion captured in this single frame convey the gravity of war and its toll on even the most powerful figures. This historical artifact not only serves as a visual reminder of one man's fate but also provides insight into the turbulent times during which it was taken. Through this photo print, we are transported back to a significant moment in European history when religious conflicts shaped nations and determined destinies. Overall, "Tilly's Flight after the Battle of Lech" offers us a glimpse into both personal tragedy and broader historical events that continue to shape our understanding today.
