EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Frederick the Great of Prussia in his final days. The image showcases a serene scene, with the aging king sitting on a chair in the sun-drenched terrace of Sanssouci palace in Potsdam. It is evident that time has taken its toll on him, as he gazes into the distance with wisdom and weariness etched onto his face. The vibrant colors of this lithograph bring to life the 18th-century setting, highlighting both the grandeur and fragility of old age. As one of history's most influential monarchs, Frederick's presence exudes royalty and power even in his twilight years. In this moment of repose, we witness not only a great ruler but also a vulnerable human being seeking solace amidst his responsibilities. His attendant stands nearby, ready to assist if needed, symbolizing loyalty and devotion. This image serves as a poignant reminder that even kings are subject to time's relentless passage. It invites us to reflect on our own mortality while appreciating the legacy left behind by remarkable individuals like Frederick the Great. Through this photograph print by Rochling and Knotel from Der alte Fritz in funfzig Bildern fur Jung und Alt (Paul Kittel), we are transported back in time to witness an intimate glimpse into history – an era when Prussia reigned supreme under Frederick's rule.
