EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned German priest and scholar, Martin Luther, alongside his wife Katharina von Bora in their home. Taken in 1936 by an unknown creator, this image showcases the couple who played significant roles during the Reformation period. Martin Luther (1483-1546) was a key figure behind the Reformation movement that reshaped Christianity. Under the protection of the Elector of Saxony, Luther translated the Bible into German and went on to establish the Lutheran Protestant Church. His intellectual contributions revolutionized religious thought during this era. Katharina von Bora (1499-1552), Luther's wife, is believed to have made substantial contributions to the Reformation as well. She played a crucial role in defining Protestant family life and setting standards for clergy marriages. The photograph originates from "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" (Pictures of German History), which was part of a cigarette card album produced by Cigaretten-Bilderdienst in Altona-Bahrenfeld, Hamburg, Germany. This historical artifact provides us with a glimpse into both private and public aspects of these influential figures' lives. Through this image, we can appreciate not only their intellectual pursuits but also gain insight into their personal relationship within their domestic environment. It serves as a testament to their enduring impact on religion and society at large during both the 16th century and beyond.
