EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Prussia after Moscow, testing Artillery at Essen" by Arthur Moreland takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts a comical scene during the Napoleonic campaign, where Prussian soldiers are humorously experimenting with artillery at the Krupp factory in Essen. The artwork is part of Moreland's illustrations for his book "The History of the Hun" published in 1917. It offers a satirical take on the aftermath of Napoleon's invasion of Russia and showcases Prussia's efforts to rebuild its military strength. In this amusing portrayal, we see a group of German soldiers under the watchful eye of their sergeant engaging in drill exercises with an oversized gun. The factory setting adds an element of irony as it highlights Germany's determination to modernize its weaponry despite facing defeat. Moreland's clever use of humor and historical context makes this engraving both entertaining and informative. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging times, there is room for levity and resilience. This digitally cleaned image from Fine Art Finder captures all the intricate details and nuances present in Moreland's original work. It allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill but also gain insight into European history during this period.
