Captured in 1903, the engraving depicts Liebknecht's distinguished appearance with his striking beard and commanding presence. Liebknecht's political journey was marked by resilience and dedication to social democracy. Born in 1826, he actively participated in the Baden Insurrection of 1848-1849 before seeking refuge abroad. After years of exile, he returned to Germany in 1862 and assumed leadership of the Saxon Peoples Party. A watershed moment came for Liebknecht when he was elected to the Reichstag in 1867, becoming the first representative of a left-wing party in German parliamentary history.

This portrait captures his unwavering commitment to advocating for social justice and equality throughout Germany. The print itself is part of "The World's History: A Survey of Man's Record" authored by Dr HF Helmolt and published by William Heinemann in London.
