EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant chromolitho print captures a heartwarming moment in history as Frederick the Great of Prussia meets a group of excited children. The 19th-century artwork, part of an educational card series on monarchs amongst their people, showcases the popularity and connection between royalty and commoners during that era. In this scene, Frederick the Great is depicted riding on horseback through a bustling street filled with shops and lively subjects. The king's presence evokes admiration and respect from both adults and children alike. His royal stature is juxtaposed against the innocence and joy radiating from the young faces surrounding him. The artist skillfully portrays Frederick II engaging with his little subjects, highlighting his genuine interest in their lives. As he interacts with them, it becomes evident that despite being a powerful ruler, he values connecting with everyday people – even those who are yet to fully understand the weight of his position. The horses featured in this artwork symbolize strength and nobility while also adding movement to the composition. They represent not only transportation but also serve as reminders of Germany's rich equestrian culture. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into history by showcasing how monarchs like Frederick the Great sought to bridge social divides by embracing interactions with ordinary citizens – particularly children who would grow up to shape future generations.
