EDITORS COMMENTS
The Double Battle of Jena-Auerstedt, 14 October 1806". This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the double battle of Jena and Auerstedt. Fought on the banks of the Saale River in Germany, this fierce clash pitted two formidable leaders against each other: Napoleon I of France and Frederick William III of Prussia. Intriguingly, this photograph also reveals an unknown creator, adding to its mystique. The image showcases the chaos and intensity of war with vivid color and detail. It is part of a larger collection titled "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" or "Pictures of German History" housed within a cigarette card album from 1936. One figure that stands out is Charles William Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick, who tragically lost his sight during this fateful encounter. Blinded by the horrors he witnessed on that day, he would soon succumb to his injuries. His story serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during times of conflict. The composition evokes both awe and sorrow as it immortalizes this significant event in European history. Through this photograph, we are transported back to that autumn day in 1806 when nations clashed for supremacy. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our heritage archives, let us remember those who fought bravely on both sides - their courage forever etched into the annals of time.
