EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, created by renowned German photographer Hanns Hanfstaengl (1820-1885), showcases an intimate moment between German Emperor Wilhelm II (1859-1941) and his brother, Prince Henry of Prussia (1862-1929). Dated to 1883, this photograph captures the brothers in a relaxed and candid setting, with Wilhelm II dressed in military uniform and Henry in a casual suit. The brothers' body language and facial expressions suggest a deep bond and mutual respect. Emperor Wilhelm II, also known as Wilhelm II, Kaiser Wilhelm II, or Willhelm II, was the last German Emperor and King of Prussia, ruling from 1888 until his abdication in 1918. He is remembered for his controversial reign and his role in leading Germany into World War I. Prince Henry, on the other hand, was the eldest son of Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia and Princess Maria Anna of Anhalt-Dessau. He served as a Prussian general and governor of various provinces. Hanfstaengl, a pioneer in photography, was a prominent figure in the German photographic community. His portraits of German nobility, including this one, are highly sought after by collectors and historians for their artistic merit and historical significance. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal lives of two members of the Hohenzollern dynasty, providing a poignant reminder of a bygone era in German history.
