EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a portrait of Augustus II the Strong, an influential figure in European history. Created by an unknown artist in 1933, this image captures the essence of a man known for his physical prowess and political achievements. Augustus II was not only the Elector of Saxony but also held titles such as Imperial Vicar, King of Poland, and Grand Duke of Lithuania. Nicknamed "the Strong" "the Saxon Hercules" and "Iron-Hand". Augustus II earned these monikers due to his exceptional physical strength. One particular sport that showcased his might was fox-tossing, a competitive blood sport involving throwing live foxes and other animals high into the air. This unique talent further solidified his reputation as a powerful ruler. The photograph is part of the book "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte" which features cigarette-card portrait miniatures depicting significant figures from world history over four centuries. The vibrant colors bring life to this eighteenth-century monarch's likeness while providing us with a glimpse into German culture during the 1930s. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us remember Augustus II's legacy as both a strong leader and an embodiment of physical power. His influence on Saxony and Europe at large cannot be understated, making him an intriguing subject for historical exploration.
