EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in European history - the meeting of two powerful monarchs, Catherine II of Russia and Joseph II of Austria. The illustration, created by Thure de Thulstrup in 1920, showcases the grandeur and significance of this encounter. Dressed in elaborate Austrian military uniforms, Joseph II stands tall with an air of authority. Catherine II exudes elegance as she dons a regal Russian costume adorned with intricate details. Their attire reflects their respective countries' rich cultural heritage. The setting is equally impressive, hinting at the political backdrop against which this meeting took place. With hints of Poland-Germany relations intertwined with Swedish-Russian influences, it becomes clear that this gathering held great importance for both nations involved. As we gaze upon this engraving from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to a time when diplomacy played a crucial role in shaping Europe's destiny. It serves as a reminder that even amidst conflicts and power struggles, leaders can come together to forge alliances and seek common ground. This print not only captures an extraordinary historical event but also invites us to ponder the complexities of international relations throughout centuries past. It reminds us that behind every significant moment lies countless stories waiting to be discovered and understood.
