EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Treaty of Saint Petersburg, signed in 1762, which solidified an alliance between two influential figures of their time: King Frederick II the Great of Prussia and Emperor Peter III of Russia. The delicate artistry displayed in this copper engraving, created by an anonymous German artist during the Rococo period, transports us back to a pivotal moment in history. The image captures the essence of diplomacy and power as Frederick II and Peter III stand side by side, their regal presence emanating from every stroke of the engraver's tool. This fine piece is housed within the esteemed Collection of Russian State Historical Library in Moscow, serving as a testament to its historical significance. The Treaty itself marked a turning point amidst the turbulent Seven Years' War that engulfed Europe at that time. Known affectionately as "Old Fritz". Frederick II was renowned for his military prowess and strategic genius. Meanwhile, Peter III (also known as Pyotr Fyodorovitch or Karl Peter Ulrich) ascended to power only months before signing this alliance with Prussia. As we gaze upon this exquisite print, we are reminded not only of these two formidable leaders but also of their shared commitment to stability and cooperation during a tumultuous era. It serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and rivalry, alliances can be forged through mutual respect and common goals – ideals that continue to shape our world today.
