EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed print captures the regal presence of Frederick III, Emperor of Germany, in 1870. Dressed in a striking military uniform adorned with medals and epaulettes, Frederick exudes authority and power. The artist has skillfully depicted his strong facial features, emphasizing his piercing gaze and well-groomed beard. Frederick's marriage to Queen Victoria's eldest daughter, Victoria, is an important aspect of his life that this image represents. This union not only solidified diplomatic ties between Germany and Britain but also showcased the grandeur of their royal lineage. The cartoon from Vanity Fair adds a touch of whimsy to this otherwise serious portrait. It highlights the year 1870 as a significant turning point for Frederick when he was appointed as a field marshal. Little did he know that just one year later, he would ascend to become Crown Prince of Germany. Tragically, Frederick's reign as Emperor was short-lived due to his untimely death from throat cancer after ruling for only 99 days in 1888. This somber fact lends an air of melancholy to the image. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into the life and legacy of Frederick III - a man who held immense power yet faced personal struggles until his premature demise.
