EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the meeting between Prussian general Johann David Ludwig Graf Yorck von Wartenburg and Russian General Count Ivan Ivanovich Diebitsch-Zabalkansky on 25 December 1812. The negotiation took place during the French invasion of Russia and resulted in the signing of the Convention of Tauroggen just five days later. In this image, both generals are seen engaged in intense discussion, their expressions reflecting the weightiness of their conversation. Yorck, a distinguished military leader known for his strategic brilliance, is portrayed as confident yet contemplative. On the other hand, Diebitsch exudes an air of authority and determination. The significance of this meeting lies in its impact on European alliances at that time. By signing the convention, Yorck effectively ended the fragile Franco-Prussian alliance and declared his troops neutral. This decision had far-reaching consequences for both sides involved in the conflict. This historical photograph is part of "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" a cigarette card album published by Cigaretten-Bilderdienst Altona-Bahrenfeld in Hamburg, Germany in 1936. It serves as a visual reminder of an important event that shaped European politics during the early 19th century. Overall, this image offers viewers a glimpse into a crucial moment when two powerful military figures negotiated terms that would alter alliances and influence future events on an international scale.
