EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Field Marshal von Blumenthal, a prominent figure in German history. The portrait captures Count Karl Konstantin Albrecht Leonhard Graf von Blumenthal (1810-1900), a Prussian Field Marshal known for his remarkable contributions during the Battle of Koniggratz in 1866 and his victories at Worth and Weissenburg. However, it is perhaps his refusal to bombard Paris during the siege of 1870 that truly defines him. The image is part of the "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" cigarette card album, published by Cigaretten-Bilderdienst in Altona-Bahrenfeld, Hamburg, Germany in 1936. It reflects both the artistic style of its time and an appreciation for historical figures who shaped Germany's past. Field Marshal von Blumenthal's stoic expression exudes strength and determination as he gazes into the distance. The color palette adds depth to this historic portrayal, emphasizing the significance of his actions within German military history. As we observe this photograph today, we are reminded not only of von Blumenthal's military prowess but also his moral compass—a leader who chose restraint over destruction when faced with difficult decisions. This image serves as a testament to bravery and integrity amidst conflict. Through this photo print, we are transported back to an era where great leaders like Field Marshal von Blumenthal left an indelible mark on their country's history.
