Drie afbeeldingen van een gezicht op Schloss Ritzebüttel, een gezicht op de slotgracht van Schloss Ritzebüttel en een stoomschip en twee zeilschepen die de haven verlaten 1894

This photographic print captures Schloss Ritzebüttel and its surroundings, likely produced in the early 20th century by Wilhelm Dreesen. Note the ship setting sail, a motif laden with symbolic weight across cultures. The ship, often seen as a vessel of passage, embodies our collective yearning for exploration, a quest for the unknown that mirrors the soul's own journey. We see echoes of this in ancient Egyptian funerary boats, ferrying souls to the afterlife, or the Viking longships, symbols of fearless exploration and conquest. The ship motif, as it reemerges through history, carries within it a trace of man's ambition, a psychological projection of our deepest desires for transformation and discovery. It is a potent, recurring symbol in our cultural memory.
