EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by Carl Rochling in the late 19th century, takes us back to a crucial moment in history - the eve of the Battle of Legnica. The image showcases Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, deep in thought and surrounded by his loyal subjects as they prepare for battle. Intriguingly portrayed against a backdrop of a roaring bonfire and chopped wood, this scene offers a glimpse into the meticulous planning and strategic thinking that characterized Frederick's reign. As he stands tall with an axe firmly grasped in his hand, one can almost feel the weighty responsibility resting upon his shoulders. The composition exudes an air of anticipation and determination as soldiers gather around their ruler. Each face reflects unwavering loyalty and commitment to their cause. It is evident that these men are prepared to lay down their lives for their king and country. As we delve deeper into this rich historical narrative, it becomes apparent that this battle was not merely about territorial conquest; it represented something far greater - a testament to Prussian resilience and military prowess. Through this remarkable lithograph from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection, we are transported back to a time when strategy was meticulously planned amidst flickering flames. This print serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and an invaluable window into our past – reminding us of those who fought
