EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Death of Major von Schill, 31 May 1809" captures a pivotal moment in German history. Major Ferdinand Baptista von Schill, a Prussian officer, led a courageous but ultimately unsuccessful revolution against French domination. This image depicts the tragic end of his rebellion as he was killed during street fighting in Stralsund, Germany. The photograph is part of the "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" (Pictures of German History) series found in a cigarette card album from 1936.
