EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Wilhelm II, Emperor of Germany, in the year 1900. Wilhelm II succeeded his father Friedrich III as King of Prussia and Kaiser in 1888. As the last Emperor of Germany, his reign was marked by significant political turmoil and ultimately ended with his forced abdication on November 9th, 1918. In this portrait, Wilhelm stands tall wearing a distinguished military uniform adorned with epaulettes. His face is captured with great detail, showcasing a well-groomed mustache that became one of his recognizable features. The engraving technique used to create this image adds depth and texture to the overall composition. Wilhelm's presence exudes authority and power befitting an emperor. However, despite his regal appearance in this photograph, it is important to note that he spent the remainder of his life in exile in the Netherlands after being dethroned. This print offers a glimpse into German history during the early 20th century. It serves as a reminder of both Wilhelm's influential role as Emperor and the turbulent times that led to his downfall.
