EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time, as three brothers of the German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II, August Wilhelm, Eitel Friedrich, and Crown Prince Wilhelm, pose with their wives in the year 1914. August Wilhelm, the eldest brother, is seen with his wife, Princess Alexandra Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. Alexandra, born in 1887, is depicted holding a parasol and pet dog, adding a touch of elegance and playfulness to the image. Eitel Friedrich, the middle brother, is pictured with his wife, Duchess Sophia Charlotte of Oldenburg. Sophia Charlotte, born in 1879, is dressed in a beautiful flowing gown and holds a fan, adding to the formal atmosphere of the photograph. Crown Prince Wilhelm, the youngest brother, is shown with his wife, Duchess Cecilie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Cecilie, born in 1886, is the only sister-in-law in the photograph, and she is dressed in a military uniform, reflecting her husband's rank as the heir to the German throne. The image, taken circa 1914, is a poignant reminder of the peaceful days before the outbreak of World War I. The brothers, all in their prime, are seen here with their wives, surrounded by their loved ones, unaware of the tumultuous events that were about to unfold. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the German royal family, providing a historical record of a bygone era.
