Ludwig II. Herzog Von Enghien Prinz Von Conde, (1933). Creator: Unknown
Ludwig II. Herzog Von Enghien Prinz Von Conde, (1933). Portrait of French general Louis de Bourbon, Prince de Conde (1621-1686). Le Grand Conde distinguished himself in the Thirty Years War by defeating the Spanish at the Battle of Rocroi in 1643, but afterwards found himself opposing the powerful chief minister of the young Louis XIV, Cardinal Mazarin, in the confused civil war known as the Fronde. From 1652 Conde commanded the Spanish army in a war against France, but after the signing of the Peace of the Pyrenees in 1659, he applied for and was granted the forgiveness of Louis XIV. Afterwards, Conde returned to loyal service in the French army. In 1674 he fought his last great battle, at Seneffe against William Prince of Orange (the future King William III of England). From " Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte", a book of cigarette-card portrait miniatures of figures in world history from the last four hundred years. [Germany, 1933]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ludwig II, Herzog Von Enghien Prinz Von Conde, a portrait of the esteemed French general Louis de Bourbon, Prince de Conde. The image captures the essence of this influential figure who lived from 1621 to 1686. Known as Le Grand Conde, he left an indelible mark on history through his military triumphs and political struggles. Le Grand Conde rose to prominence during the Thirty Years War when he achieved a significant victory over the Spanish at the Battle of Rocroi in 1643. However, his path was not without obstacles as he found himself opposing Cardinal Mazarin, the powerful chief minister of young Louis XIV during the tumultuous civil war known as the Fronde. Despite leading Spain's army against France after 1652, peace was eventually restored with the signing of the Peace of Pyrenees in 1659. Seeking redemption and forgiveness from Louis XIV, Conde returned to loyal service within the French army. In his final great battle in 1674 at Seneffe against William Prince of Orange (the future King William III of England), Le Grand Conde demonstrated his unwavering courage and military prowess once again. This remarkable photograph is part of "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte" a book featuring cigarette-card portrait miniatures that depict prominent figures from world history spanning four centuries. Its historical significance and artistic value make it an invaluable piece for any collector or enthusiast interested in exploring past eras and iconic personalities.
