EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving portrays Franz Balthasar Schonberg von Brenkenhoff (1723-1780), a renowned German economist and statesman of the 18th century. The image, created in the late 19th century, is a testament to the enduring influence of Schonberg von Brenkenhoff's contributions to European political and economic thought. Born in Prussia, Schonberg von Brenkenhoff rose to prominence during a period of significant economic and political transformation in Europe. His expertise in finance and economics led him to hold influential positions within the Prussian government, where he implemented policies aimed at modernizing the economy and improving the welfare of the population. Schonberg von Brenkenhoff's legacy extends beyond his political accomplishments. He is also remembered for his groundbreaking economic theories, which challenged the prevailing mercantilist orthodoxy of his time. His ideas, which emphasized the importance of domestic production and the role of markets in driving economic growth, laid the foundation for the classical economic theory that would emerge in the following century. This striking engraving, which was produced for inclusion in The Universal History in 1885, captures the essence of Schonberg von Brenkenhoff's distinguished career. The artist has skillfully rendered the subject's round, noble face and the intricate details of his formal attire, conveying a sense of gravitas and authority. The use of color adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a captivating work of art as well as a valuable historical document.
