EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Heinrich Graf Holke: A Danish Military Commander in the Imperial Service" Heinrich Graf Holke (1599-1633) was a prominent Danish military commander who served in the Imperial army during the Thirty Years' War. Born into the noble Holk family, he began his military career in the Danish army before joining the Imperial forces under the command of Emperor Ferdinand II. This historic print, dated between 1599 and 1633, features the autograph of Graf Holke, a testament to his significance in military history. The image captures the stern and determined expression of a seasoned commander, with his signature neatly inscribed below. Graf Holke played a crucial role in several key battles during the Thirty Years' War, including the Battle of Lützen (1632) and the Battle of Nördlingen (1634), where he commanded the right wing of the Imperial army. His military prowess and leadership earned him the title of Feldmarschall, or Field Marshal, in the Imperial service. Despite his successes, Graf Holke's tenure with the Imperial army was not without controversy. He was known for his harsh treatment of his soldiers and his ruthless tactics on the battlefield, which earned him both admiration and criticism. This print offers a glimpse into the life of a complex and influential figure in European military history. The autograph adds an intriguing personal touch, connecting us to the past and the legacy of Heinrich Graf Holke.
