EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and historical significance of the Furstenzug, also known as the Procession of the Dukes, in Dresden, Germany.

Originally painted by Wilhelm Walter between 1870 and 1876, this masterpiece faced deterioration due to crumbling stucco. In a remarkable effort to preserve its magnificence, around 1906-07 it was replaced with meticulously crafted tiles.
