La fin d'un Reve
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The End of a Dream) is a poignant print by Felix Schwormstadt depicting Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, the Imperial Emperor and King of Prussia, studying a map intently with a finger pointed towards Soissons in 1918. The composition, with its artificial and pretentious air, was published in double pages by the German illustrated weekly, "Illustrierte Zeitung," a little late, on the 1st of August, 1918. At that time, the soldiers of the Allied forces had already dispersed the imperial dream. The image captures the intensity of the German Emperor's focus as he plans the location for the crushing of the French army on the Western Front during World War I. The print, created by the official painter Felix Schwormstadt, was published in the second volume of "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. This powerful image of the German monarch, deep in thought, is a testament to the strategic planning and military campaigns of the Great War. The print, "La fin d'un Reve," is a significant historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the mind of a leader during a time of global conflict. The image of Wilhelm II, with his intense gaze fixed on the map, serves as a reminder of the complexities and consequences of warfare during the 20th century. The black and white medium adds a sense of gravity and solemnity to the scene, making it a compelling and thought-provoking piece of history.
