EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures Crown Prince Frederick William of Prussia, a prominent figure in the 19th century. The image showcases his distinguished presence with a well-groomed beard and an array of medals adorning his chest. As the future Frederick III, German Emperor and King of Prussia, he held great promise for his country. Tragically, this photograph also serves as a poignant reminder of the brevity of Frederick's reign. Despite inheriting the throne from his father in 1888, he ruled for only 99 days due to his untimely demise. A heavy smoker throughout his life, Frederick had developed incurable cancer of the larynx by that time. The engraving beautifully captures both the regal nature and vulnerability of this royal figure. It is a testament to the fleeting nature of power and serves as a somber reflection on mortality itself. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of Crown Prince Frederick William's historical significance but also of the devastating impact that smoking can have on one's health. This image stands as a powerful symbol urging us to prioritize our well-being over harmful habits.
