EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the renowned French writer and philosopher, Voltaire, during his time in Pomerania in 1750. The image showcases a moment from the life of this intellectual giant, known for his contributions to literature and philosophy during the Age of Enlightenment. In this black and white illustration, we see Voltaire seated inside a carriage as it traverses through the picturesque countryside. Dressed in traditional attire of the era, he exudes an air of wisdom and sophistication. A child accompanies him on this journey, perhaps symbolizing the passing down of knowledge to future generations. The scene is rich with historical context as it highlights not only Voltaire's presence but also elements such as peasant agriculture and Prussian influence in Pomerania at that time. It offers a glimpse into both the personal life of Voltaire and broader societal aspects prevalent during this period. This remarkable print was created by German School artists in the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. It was originally featured as an illustration for Bildersaal Deutscher Geschichte (Union Deutsche Verlagsgesellschaft, 1890), showcasing its significance within historical publications. Through this engraving, we are transported back to an era where intellectual pursuits were highly valued and celebrated. It serves as a testament to Voltaire's enduring legacy as one of history's most influential thinkers while providing us with a visual window into his world centuries later.
