EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white illustration graced the front cover of The Graphic on 17th August, 1895, marking the visit of Kaiser Wilhelm II, German Emperor (1859-1941) to the United Kingdom. The imperial visitor is depicted in the uniform of the Prussian Garde du Corps, adding an air of regal authority to the image. Wilhelm's horse appears calm and obedient as its rider gazes off into the distance, perhaps contemplating the diplomatic matters that would be discussed during his stay. The Graphic, a popular British illustrated weekly magazine, captured the attention of its readers with this image. Wilhelm's visit to the UK was an important moment in international relations, as tensions between the two European powers were beginning to rise. This illustration serves as a visual record of the imperial visit, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and power of the German Emperor at the height of his reign. The intricate details of the illustration are truly remarkable, from the intricate patterns on Wilhelm's uniform to the textured appearance of the horse's coat. The use of contrasting shades of black and white creates a sense of depth and dimension, making the image all the more captivating. This illustration is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of the illustrators of The Graphic during this era, and a valuable historical document that offers insights into the political and cultural landscape of the late 19th century.
