EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in German history - the Proclamation of King William of Prussia as Emperor of Germany at Versailles on January 18,1871. The wood engraving, based on Anton Alexander von Werner's painting, beautifully depicts the grandeur and solemnity of this historic event. In the image, we see King William standing tall amidst an opulent interior setting. Dressed in regal attire, he exudes power and authority as he declares himself Emperor. Surrounding him are members of his court and distinguished figures who witness this momentous occasion. The proclamation marked a crucial step towards the unification of Germany under Prussian leadership. It symbolized the end of centuries-long divisions among various German states and paved the way for a united nation that would become one of Europe's most influential powers. Anton Alexander von Werner's masterful artwork brings to life this pivotal chapter in German history. Through intricate details and skillful use of light and shadow, he captures both the significance and emotion surrounding this declaration. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back to that late winter day in Versailles when Germany took its first steps towards becoming an empire. It serves as a powerful reminder of how historical events shape nations and leave indelible marks on our collective memory.
