EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Crown Prince of Prussia, captured around 1872 by the talented William Holl. The portrait depicts Prince Frederick William of Prussia, a prominent figure in German history. In 1858, he married Queen Victoria's eldest daughter, Victoria, and later ascended to become Emperor of Germany and King of Prussia in 1888 under the title Frederick III. Tragically, his reign was short-lived as he succumbed to throat cancer after ruling for only 99 days. This image is sourced from Captain H M Hozier's book "The Franco-Prussian War: its causes, incidents and consequences" published in London in 1872 by William Mackenzie. Prince Frederick William's regal presence is evident through his majestic beard and dignified expression. Adorned with medals that symbolize his role as a monarch during a time marked by conflict and change, this photograph transports us back to the vibrant era of Victorian royalty. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait captured over a century ago, we are reminded not only of the historical significance it holds but also of the fleeting nature of power and life itself. It serves as an enduring tribute to a man who played a pivotal role in shaping Germany's destiny during one of its most transformative periods - an emblematic representation of strength amidst adversity.
