EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from May 1913, a bustling scene unfolds on the streets of Berlin as paparazzi, or early photojournalists, eagerly await the appearance of the newlyweds on the balcony of the Royal Palace. The occasion is the marriage of Princess Viktoria Luise of Prussia, only daughter of Kaiser Wilhelm II, to Prince Ernest Augustus of Brunswick-Luneburg, son of the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland. The air is thick with anticipation as the camera men, dressed in suits and hats, set up their tripods and adjust their cameras in preparation for the moment. Their faces are a mix of determination and excitement, as they know that capturing a clear and compelling image of the royal couple will be a valuable addition to their reportage. The palace looms in the background, its grandeur a stark contrast to the chaotic energy of the street below. The scene is a testament to the growing influence of the media in documenting the lives of the royal family and the public's insatiable appetite for news and images of their lives. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of royalty, media, and photography in early 20th century Germany. The paparazzi, or photojournalists, of this era may not have had the same level of notoriety as their modern counterparts, but their dedication to capturing the news as it unfolded was no less fervent. This image stands as a reminder of the enduring power of photography to document history and capture the essence of a moment in time.
