EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in history, depicting Johanna Stegen at the fighting in Lüneburg on 2 April 1813. This German heroine played a crucial role in the Prussian victory over the French by fearlessly carrying fresh supplies of ammunition in her apron. The image is part of the "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" (Pictures of German History) series, featured in a cigarette card album from 1936. Johanna Stegen's courageous act exemplifies patriotism and selflessness during times of war. Her contribution to the armed forces showcases the resilience and determination of individuals who fought for their country's freedom. In this photograph, she stands amidst chaos and destruction, symbolizing hope and strength. The black-and-white image has been colorized, adding vibrancy to Johanna's dress as she aids her fellow soldiers with unwavering dedication. The unknown creator skillfully captures both historical accuracy and artistic expression. This photograph not only immortalizes an extraordinary woman but also serves as a reminder of the Napoleonic Wars' impact on Germany's history. It highlights how ordinary people like Johanna can make extraordinary contributions that shape nations. As we admire this remarkable snapshot from our past, let us remember those unsung heroes whose bravery helped forge a brighter future for generations to come.
