The Troelfth Cake - A Symbol of Poland's First Partition
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the historic event known as "The Troelfth Cake" which marked the first partition of Poland on September 26,1772. Engraved by Noel Le Mire and later reproduced by Jean Michel Moreau, this artwork captures a significant moment in European history. The image depicts a group portrait featuring key figures involved in the partitioning process. Empress Catherina of Russia, Frederick the Great of Prussia, Joseph II of Austria, and King Stanislas II Augustus Poniatowski of Poland are all present. The composition is adorned with symbolic elements such as an angel holding trumpets and a crown representing power. Notably, the title "Le Gateau des Rois" or "The Royal Cake" refers to an anagram for Le Mire's name - Erimeln. This clever play on words adds intrigue to the piece. Additionally, a map of Poland can be seen in the background, highlighting the territorial changes resulting from this partition. As we delve into this historical moment through artistry and symbolism, it becomes clear that this image represents not only political maneuverings but also serves as a reminder of Poland's struggle for independence during this tumultuous period. Displayed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this photograph offers us a glimpse into Europe's past while reminding us how art can capture complex narratives within its frames.
