Not the Schönhausen people, the Schönhausen plaque next to the painting. It did occur to me Ziebura might have included this detail in the pictorial part of her "Kein Mitleid mit den Frauen" book, but I don't have a physical copy with me. Also, here is a guided Instagramm tour through the palace - haven't watched it yet, so I can't say whether it includes the Fritz portrait bit, but it might.
Voltaire's claim that Fritz exclusively bottomed is taken at face value, and footnoted with statistics.
ROTFLOL. I mean. Does the author think Voltaire, in selfless dedication to research, interviewed hot hussars and pages on the subject? Is he familiar at all with the grand tradition of sexual insults in the "you're the bum boy!" vein from Cicero's Philippica against Mark Antony downwards? (Suddenly it occurs to me he might take Cicero literally, too...)
