EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "The King of Prussia Addressing the Berliners, 1848" we are transported back to the bustling streets of Berlin in the 19th century. The artist, William Barnes Wollen, skillfully captures a historic moment as His Majesty Friedrich Wilhelm IV, King of Prussia, stands atop his majestic horse addressing his subjects. Dressed in a regal uniform complete with helmet and flag-adorned banner, the king exudes authority and power. Behind him lies a barricade symbolizing unrest and protest within the city. This engraving from Robert Wilson's book "The life and times of Queen Victoria" serves as an illustration depicting the unity of Germany under one nation. Amidst a sea of people dressed in period attire, men on horses can be seen riding alongside their monarch. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as they listen intently to their leader's announcement. Guns and bayonets held by soldiers emphasize that this unification was not without its challenges or bloodshed. Wollen's attention to detail brings this historical scene to life; every line etched into the print tells a story. It serves as both a reminder of past struggles for unity and an homage to King Friedrich Wilhelm IV's role in shaping German history. This remarkable artwork transports us back in time while reminding us that moments like these have shaped nations throughout history.
