EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a striking image of Albrecht von Wallenstein, a prominent figure in German history. Created in 1936 by an unknown artist, the portrait showcases Wallenstein's commanding presence and military prowess. Wallenstein, born in 1583, was a Bohemian military leader who played a crucial role during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). He commanded the Catholic imperial armies until he was replaced by Count Tilly in 1630 due to pressure from German princes. However, this did not deter Wallenstein from pursuing his ambitions. In 1634, after mounting a rebellion against Emperor Ferdinand II, Wallenstein met his tragic end when he was assassinated. This act marked the conclusion of an eventful life filled with power struggles and political intrigue. The print is part of "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" (Pictures of German History), featured in a cigarette card album produced by Cigaretten-Bilderdienst Altona-Bahrenfeld in Hamburg, Germany. The vibrant colors and attention to detail bring this historical figure to life once again. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Wallenstein's significant contributions and complex legacy within German history. His story serves as a reminder that even powerful figures can face unexpected twists on their path to greatness or downfall.
