EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Kaiser Wilhelm I, the King of Prussia and Emperor of Germany, standing proudly beside the flag of the Kingdom of Prussia. The image, captured around 1890 by a French School artist, is part of a series of promotional cards featuring illustrations of currencies from different countries. These cards were widely popular among children and served as an incentive for families to frequent stores or purchase more goods. Wilhelm I was a significant figure in German history, ruling over Prussia from 1861 until his death in 1888. He played a crucial role in the unification of Germany and became its first emperor in 1871. In this portrait, he exudes authority and confidence with his regal uniform adorned with epaulets and breastplate. The display also includes German Deutschmarks, providing an interesting glimpse into the currency used during that era. This combination of historical elements - the king's presence alongside national symbols such as flags and money - creates a powerful visual representation. The color lithograph captures every intricate detail meticulously while adding vibrancy to the scene. It serves as both an advertisement for department stores and manufacturers targeting children but also stands as a testament to Wilhelm I's legacy as one who led Germany through significant political changes during his reign.
