1844 Frankfurt Goethe Johann Offical Unveiling

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the historic moment of the official unveiling of the Goethe Monument in Frankfurt, Germany, on August 18, 1844. The monument, dedicated to the renowned German writer and statesman Johann Christian Friedrich Hölderlin, better known as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, stands proudly in the heart of the city. Goethe, who lived from 1749 to 1832, is considered one of the greatest figures in German literature and is best known for his works "Faust" and "The Sorrows of Young Werther." The monument, designed by the sculptor Johann Friedrich Mulert, depicts Goethe in deep thought, with a quill pen in hand and a book at his feet. The statue is surrounded by various scenes and symbols from Goethe's life and works, including a bust of Shakespeare, a laurel wreath, and a globe. The official unveiling ceremony was attended by a large crowd of dignitaries, scholars, and citizens of Frankfurt. In the photo, we see a group of people gathered around the monument, some with their hats in hand, others with their eyes fixed on the statue. The atmosphere is one of reverence and awe, as the community comes together to honor the legacy of this great man. This photograph is a precious document of a significant moment in Frankfurt's history, and a testament to the enduring influence of Goethe's work. The monument continues to stand as a symbol of the city's rich cultural heritage and its commitment to preserving the memory of one of Germany's most beloved literary figures.
