Standbeeld van Schiller in Frankfurt am Main 1860 - 1875

This 19th-century photograph captures a bronze sculpture of German poet and philosopher Friedrich Schiller, erected in Frankfurt am Main between 1860 and 1875. The statue is a classic representation of the influential figure, showing him standing tall, draped in a flowing cloak, his hand resting upon a book. The backdrop of the photograph features a building adorned with shuttered windows, offering a glimpse of the urban setting in which the monument stands. The image, possibly taken by an anonymous photographer, provides a historical snapshot of both the artistic expression of the period and the city's reverence for Schiller.
