| Fritz collection on the bookshelves of my library room. |
Over the years I have been collecting statues and figures of Frederick II (the Great) of Prussia whenever I can find them. On my recent trip to Berlin I found the two white bisque Frederick busts in the museum shop at Sans Souci and added them to the collection. These were very affordable, but I could have gone crazy and purchased some larger figures in the €400 plus range. I passed on those, but I'm always looking for more Fredericks.
Nice collection, Jim. Now, we all know what to get you for Christmas and birthdays!
ReplyDeleteFinding and collecting things is fun.
DeleteI believe that it is a truism of history that one can never have enough Fredericks.
ReplyDeleteI have a bit of catching up with Napoleon, of which I have 16 statues.
DeleteThe bronze bust looks particularly fine
ReplyDeleteI think that I got the bust on eBay. It is fairly common.
DeleteWe shall have to settle on a collective noun for Fredericks.
ReplyDeleteA flute of Fredericks?
DeleteGood one! How about a ponder of Fredericks?
