EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of royalty and military prowess in 1913 Germany. On the left, we see Princess Victoria Louise, daughter of Emperor Wilhelm II, dressed in a striking uniform as a colonel of the 7th Hussars. Her military head-dress pays homage to the badge of the 7th Lancers, known as the Death or Glory Boys. The skull and crossbones motif adds an air of danger and intrigue to her ensemble.
On the right stands Princess Cecile, wife of the Crown Prince of Prussia, clad in the uniform of King Frederick III's Dragons regiment, where she holds the rank of colonel. The two princesses exude power and authority as they participate in a drill with Death's Head Hussars.
The image is a snapshot from a bygone era when European royal families were deeply intertwined with military traditions and ceremonies. It serves as a reminder of a time before World War I forever changed the landscape of Europe.
This print is not just a historical document but also an artistic representation that showcases both regal elegance and martial strength embodied by these two German princesses. Their uniforms symbolize their dedication to duty and honor within their respective regiments during this pivotal moment in history.
