EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving captures a historic moment that forever changed the course of European history. The scene takes place in the magnificent Galerie des Glaces at Versailles, where on January 18th, 1871, William I is proclaimed Emperor of Germany. Standing tall and regal amidst a crowd of distinguished figures, William I's presence commands attention. The artist Anton von Werner masterfully depicts this pivotal event with intricate detail and grandeur. Otto von Bismarck stands beside William I, his trusted advisor and architect of German unification. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as onlookers witness the birth of a new empire. The significance of this proclamation cannot be overstated. It marks the end of the Franco-Prussian War and France's defeat against Prussia. With this triumph, Germany emerges as a dominant force in Europe under its newly crowned emperor. Through this engraving by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to that fateful day when nations shifted power dynamics forever.
