EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historically significant print captures the momentous occasion when King Wilhelm I of Prussia was proclaimed Emperor of a united Germany. The event took place in Versailles, France on 18 January 1871, marking a pivotal moment in European history. The image showcases the grandeur and regality of King Wilhelm I as he assumes his new title. Dressed in royal attire, he stands tall with an air of authority and dignity. Surrounding him are soldiers and generals, representing the strength and unity that led to this monumental achievement. Flags wave proudly in the background, symbolizing patriotism and nationalism among the German people. This proclamation not only solidified Germany's victory over France in the Franco-Prussian War but also marked a significant step towards unification for a nation divided by various states. Versailles serves as an iconic backdrop for this historic event, adding to its significance. The palace's opulent architecture represents power and prestige while highlighting the diplomatic nature of this proclamation taking place on foreign soil. This color lithograph is part of Panorama der Weltgeschichte by M Reymond, published around 1900. It offers us a glimpse into one of Europe's most transformative moments during the 19th century – when Germany emerged as a unified nation under Emperor Wilhelm I's leadership.
