EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Friedrich Wilhelm, Prinz von Preussen (1859-1941), later known as William II, the last German Emperor and King of Prussia. The image was featured in the Allgemeine Moden-Zeitung, a renowned Leipzig publication in 1872. In this engraving by the German School from the 19th century, we see a young Friedrich Wilhelm adorned with medals and wearing an impressive royal uniform. His dignified presence is enhanced by the chain and epaulettes that adorn his attire. This portrait captures not only his regal status but also hints at his future role as a leader. It is worth noting that Friedrich Wilhelm's life was marked by various challenges and conflicts. He had a birth deformity which affected him physically throughout his life. Additionally, he faced conflicts with Otto von Bismarck during his reign and ultimately abdicated in 1918. The engraving itself is based on a photograph of Friedrich Wilhelm, adding to its authenticity and historical significance. This particular print holds great value as it provides insight into the early years of an influential figure who played a significant role in European history. Displayed proudly within this private collection, this image serves as both an artistic vignette capturing royalty and power while also offering glimpses into the complex life of Prince Friedrich Wilhelm before he ascended to become William II.
