EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Frederick the Great visiting the ruins of the burned town of Kustrin" transports us back to a significant moment in history. The image, captured as a colour lithograph by Carl Rochling, depicts King Frederick II of Prussia amidst the devastated remains of Kustrin after it was ravaged by fire during the Seven Years War in August 1758. This poignant illustration was originally featured in "Der alte Fritz in funfzig Bildern fur Jung und Alt" a publication that aimed to bring alive the life and times of Frederick the Great for both young and old audiences. The collaboration between Rochling and Richard Knotel resulted in powerful visuals that evoke empathy and admiration for this influential monarch. In this particular scene, we witness King Frederick II showing deep sympathy as he surveys the ruined buildings and destroyed homes. His royal presence amidst such devastation highlights his commitment to his people and their well-being. As one of Europe's most renowned military leaders, Frederick's visit to Kustrin signifies not only his concern for his subjects but also serves as a reminder of the brutal realities faced during wartime. This evocative photograph print captures an important moment from German history, showcasing both destruction and resilience. It stands as a testament to Frederick's leadership during challenging times while offering viewers an opportunity to reflect on humanity's ability to rebuild even after experiencing great loss.
