EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Hermine of Schoenach Carolath, the second wife of Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, surrounded by two of her beloved relatives, Hans Georg and Henrietta, in an intimate moment of connection and warmth. The image, taken in 1887, showcases Hermine's elegant and refined style, with her neck adorned in a delicate lace collar and pearls. The rosette brooch pinned to her chest adds an air of regal sophistication, further emphasizing her status as a member of the German royal family. Hermine, born Princess Hermine Marie Elisabeth of Reuss-Schleiz-Greiz, was the daughter of Prince Reuss-Schleiz-Greiz. She married Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1889, following the death of his first wife, Empress Frederick. The union was a contentious one, with Hermine's Protestant faith and liberal political views clashing with Wilhelm's conservative and Catholic beliefs. Despite the challenges, the couple remained married until Wilhelm's abdication in 1918. In this photograph, Hermine is seen in a more relaxed and joyful setting, surrounded by her loved ones. Hans Georg and Henrietta, whose identities are not explicitly stated in the metadata but can be inferred from their relationship to Hermine, add a sense of familiarity and comfort to the image. The photograph, which was taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the personal lives of these historical figures and provides a poignant reminder of the complexities and nuances of royal relationships. The photograph, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical artifact that offers insights into the lives of these fascinating individuals and the time period in which they lived. The intricate details of Hermine's attire, the warm expressions on their faces, and the sense of connection between them all contribute to the enduring appeal of this image.
