EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable equestrian skills of Carl von Langen, a German athlete who achieved great success in the 1928 Summer Olympics held in Amsterdam. Mounted on his majestic horse Draufganger, von Langen exudes confidence and grace as he performs dressage maneuvers with precision. Carl Freiherr von Langen, born in 1887 and tragically passing away in 1934, was not only an individual gold medalist but also played a crucial role in securing victory for Germany in the team dressage competition. His exceptional talent and dedication to his sport are evident through this timeless image. Captured from "Die Welt in Bildern" (The World in Pictures), a cigarette card album dating back to approximately 1928, this photograph offers us a glimpse into the world of early twentieth-century sportsmanship. The unknown creator skillfully portrays both man and horse as they harmoniously work together to achieve greatness. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate the bond between rider and steed that transcends language barriers. Von Langen's achievement serves as an inspiration to athletes worldwide, reminding us of the power of perseverance and teamwork.
