EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing souvenir postcard, depicting the ancient city of Jerusalem with an inset portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm II, transports us back to the late 19th century. The postcard, now a cherished piece of history, was likely purchased by a traveler making their pilgrimage to the holy land. The image on the left showcases the breathtaking view of Jerusalem's Old City, with its golden-hued stones and iconic Dome of the Rock. Nestled within this scene, the inset portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the German Emperor and King of Prussia, serves as a fascinating reminder of the historical figures who once walked these sacred grounds. Kaiser Wilhelm II, who ruled from 1888 to 1918, was known for his extensive travels and passion for the Middle East. His visits to Jerusalem, which began in 1898, were significant as they marked the first time a German monarch had visited the city. During his journey, he was greeted with great fanfare and left a lasting impression on the people of Jerusalem. This postcard, a testament to the rich history of travel and diplomacy, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the connections that transcend borders and time. The image of Jerusalem, with its timeless beauty, and the portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm II, a symbol of a bygone era, make this postcard a captivating piece of history that continues to inspire wonder and curiosity.
