EDITORS COMMENTS
Carl Wilhelm Ferdinand, Duke of Braunschweig and Lüneburg (1735-1806), was a prominent German royal and military figure of the late 18th century. This elegant oval print captures the duke in his regal attire, adorned with a grand wig and wearing the Order of the Elephant, a Danish order of chivalry, signifying his high rank and prestige. The ribbon of the order is draped over his left shoulder, adding a touch of grandeur to his military uniform, which includes a breastplate and a sword at his side. Duke Carl Wilhelm Ferdinand was born in Wolfenbüttel, the capital city of the Duchy of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, in 1735. He served in the military from a young age and gained a reputation as a capable and effective commander. In 1755, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Brunswick army, a position he held until his death in 1806. During his military career, Duke Carl Wilhelm Ferdinand played a significant role in various European conflicts, including the Seven Years' War and the Napoleonic Wars. He was known for his strategic acumen and his ability to lead his troops effectively in battle. Despite his military successes, the duke faced numerous challenges, including financial difficulties and political instability, which ultimately led to his death in 1806. This beautiful print is a testament to the duke's status as a respected and influential figure in German royalty and military history. The intricate details of his uniform and the regal bearing of his posture convey a sense of power and authority, making this an impressive addition to any collection of historical prints or portraits.
