Meeting of Kaiser Wilhelm II and the German Crown Prince, 2 September 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this color lithograph, we are transported back to a significant moment in history - the meeting between Kaiser Wilhelm II and his son, the German Crown Prince, on September 2nd, 1914. The image captures a sense of anticipation as both father and son ride horseback towards each other on a vast battlefield. The scene is filled with symbolism; the horses representing power and strength while also hinting at the sport of horse riding that was popular among European nobility. The presence of French generals adds an air of tension, reminding us that this encounter took place during World War I. As they meet amidst soldiers in uniform, it becomes evident that this gathering holds great importance for both military strategy and familial bonds. The Kaiser's car parked nearby serves as a reminder of modernity creeping into traditional warfare. This print from Adolf Closs' "Illustrated History of World War I" offers us a glimpse into a pivotal moment in European history. It reminds us not only of the complexities within war but also highlights personal relationships amidst conflict. Through this image, we witness two generations coming together against the backdrop of battlefields - an enduring symbol of sacrifice and duty.
