EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed print showcases the Coat of Arms of Prussia, dating back to 1898. Created by a German School in the 19th century, this piece is now part of a private collection. The arms depicted here were decreed in 1873 by William I, the German Emperor at that time. They include various additions such as Schleswig-Holstein, Hanover, and Hesse-Kassel, along with the collars of prestigious orders like the House of Hohenzollern and the Order of the Prussian Crown. The supporters flanking this majestic coat of arms are none other than Wild Men – figures derived from Germanic and Celtic mythology representing both power over beasts and nature itself. It's worth noting that Prussia was granted permission to use the black eagle symbolizing the Holy Roman Empire by Emperor Frederick II way back in 1229. This image captures not only heraldry but also history. With its intricate quarterings, royal crown, crest adorned with an eagle emblem, it serves as a visual representation of Prussian identity during that era. A true testament to craftsmanship and symbolism within heraldic artistry!
