Montage van drie portretten van militairen die zijn gesneuveld bij de Slag van Königgrätz en de Oostenrijkse adelaar met lauweren Possibly 1866 - 1875

This small-scale photomontage, likely created between 1866 and 1875 by H. Bayer, commemorates the three soldiers who fell during the Battle of Königgrätz, also known as the Battle of Sadowa. The image features the three soldiers' portraits, each framed in an oval, arranged below a two-headed eagle with laurel branches. The eagle is a symbol of the Habsburg monarchy, which was defeated in the battle by Prussia. The text "Königgrätz 3 July 1866" provides context for the memorial, highlighting the significance of the battle. The work is a poignant example of the genre of mourning art, which flourished during the 19th century.
