EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in Versailles, 1871: the proclamation of King William as Emperor of Germany. The creator of this powerful image remains unknown, but its significance is undeniable. In 1890, Edmund Ollier included this engraving in his book "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" showcasing the grandeur and formality of the event. The photograph showcases a group of men gathered inside a magnificent building, illuminated by an exquisite chandelier hanging from above. King William I, hailing from the House of Hohenzollern, became the first German Emperor on January 18th, 1871 until his passing. This portrait immortalizes him during this pivotal moment in history when he was officially proclaimed as Emperor. The scene exudes an air of importance and power as King William stands at the center surrounded by his subjects. Dressed regally with a commanding presence, he embodies strength and authority befitting an emperor. Versailles serves as a fitting backdrop for such an occasion; its opulent palace symbolizing French grandeur and historical significance. This photograph allows us to witness firsthand this significant event that shaped European history. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece captured over a century ago, we are transported back to that day when King William's reign began amidst pomp and circumstance. It reminds us how art can preserve moments that would otherwise fade into oblivion while honoring those who have left their mark on our collective memory.
