Emperor Wilhelm II, the King of Prussia, was a prominent figure during the early 1900s-1910s. His reign witnessed both triumph and tragedy. In one instance, he personally observed the desperate attempts to rescue miners trapped in a Westphalian mine fire that claimed the lives of 120 brave souls. During World War I, Emperor Wilhelm II stood alongside his fellow allied monarchs and their commanders as they strategized and fought for their nations' interests. The opening of the Reichstag by him showcased his commitment to governance and diplomacy. The Jubilee of Europe's Oldest Sovereign marked a momentous occasion where Emperor William II arrived amidst great fanfare and celebration. This colorful lithograph captured the excitement surrounding this event. Another lithograph depicted Berlin ladies extending warm greetings to Princess Alessandra Holstein, who had recently married into Emperor William's family. It showcased the importance placed on royal unions within European nobility. Emperor William II's visit to Rome was met with resounding acclamations from its citizens before he ascended Quirinale Hill. This vibrant lithograph immortalizes that joyous reception. In a poignant moment, King Umberto's last letter was presented to Emperor William by Novara Lancers in Cassel. This touching gesture symbolized camaraderie between two monarchies facing uncertain times. However, not all moments were filled with grandeur; some highlighted Germany's militaristic decline through vivid color lithographs depicting collapsing giants of German militarism – an era coming to an end. Yet even amid challenges, there were still proud displays of military prowess in "The feats of Williams warriors" lithograph – showcasing Germany's formidable armed forces under Emperor Wilhelm II’s command. Venice bore witness to another regal spectacle when gondolas escorted sovereigns along Canalgrande upon their arrival – an enchanting scene captured in yet another vibrant color lithograph.
