Abstract. In the Friedrichsruh version of The Proclamation of the German Empire on January 18, 1871, Anton von Werner took even greater liberties with regard to historical fact than he did in the palace version and the 1880 wood engraving.
Anton von Werner (1843-1915), created four images of the proclamation of the German Empire, which took place on January 18, 1871, in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles. Von Werner had been summoned to Versailles by the Grand Duke of Baden.
This wood engraving of The Proclamation of the German Empire differs significantly from the “palace version” of 1877. Among other changes, Anton von Werner fundamentally altered the composition and perspective and portrayed the entire scene in a more dramatic and historically significant light.
