EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures an essential moment in the grand procession leading up to the royal wedding of Princess Viktoria Luise of Prussia and Prince Ernst of Cumberland, which took place in Berlin, Germany, in May 1913. The young princess, the only daughter of the Kaiser, is seen here making an important arrival at the ceremony, accompanied by a retinue of servants carrying an exquisite collection of wine bottles for the royal wedding banquet. Dressed in an elegant, ornate gown and adorned with a stunning diadem, Princess Viktoria Luise embodies the regal grace and sophistication of the German royal family. Her future husband, Prince Ernst, stands proudly by her side, dressed in the formal attire of a German prince. The servants, dressed in their liveried uniforms, carry the precious cargo with utmost care, ensuring that the finest wines are delivered safely to the wedding venue. The bottles, wrapped in protective cloths, are carefully balanced on wooden trays, creating a striking visual contrast against the ornate gold and red decorations of the royal carriage. The arrival of the wine signified the beginning of the festivities for the royal wedding banquet, a grand celebration that would bring together the elite of German society to honor the union of the young couple. The alcohol, a symbol of joy and prosperity, was an essential component of the wedding festivities, adding to the overall atmosphere of opulence and grandeur. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the grandeur and splendor of a bygone era, providing a fascinating insight into the traditions and customs of the German royal family during the early 20th century.
