Descriptionof Coburg - Gotha - 1826
Manufacturer

Two hundred years ago, the dual duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was founded, and its ruling dynasty would soon achieve European prominence. Personalities such as Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, and Leopold, the first King of the Belgians, remain well-known to this day. However, the founder of the dual duchy, Ernst I, is often overshadowed by his famous relatives. This volume focuses on the ambitious duke who, in turbulent times, laid the foundations for his dynasty's rise through diplomatic skill and dynastic foresight. Alongside Ernst's work as a politician, builder, and collector, the book also illuminates the often overlooked figures behind the scenesthose who shaped the administration and collections. It offers a multifaceted look at the emergence of a dual state, its challenges, and the foundations of an "Ernestine Age" that transformed Coburg and Gotha into centers of European history and whose influence continues to shape the cultural landscapes on both sides of the Thuringian Forest.
