EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, Prince Ernst August of Brunswick, the eldest child of Kaiser Wilhelm II's only daughter, Victoria Luise, poses for the camera at the tender age of one year and nine months. The image was captured in March 1914, just a few months before the outbreak of World War I. Prince Ernst August was born on February 12, 1914, in Schloss Schönhausen, Potsdam, Germany. His parents, Kaiser Wilhelm II and Victoria Luise, were deeply devoted to their son, and this photo was likely taken to commemorate his first birthday and raise funds for a worthy cause. The proceeds from the sale of this and other photographs of the young prince were donated to the soldiers of Brunswick, a gesture of support for those defending their homeland during the tumultuous times. The image was likely circulated as a postcard or print, allowing people to purchase a piece of royal history while contributing to a good cause. Prince Ernst August's birth brought great joy to his parents and the German people, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a simpler time before the onset of war. As the eldest son of Kaiser Wilhelm II's only daughter, he held a significant place in the imperial family tree and would go on to play an important role in the history of Brunswick and Germany. This historical photograph is a precious document of the past, offering a glimpse into the life of a young prince and the events of a pivotal moment in European history. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of family, love, and the human spirit, even in the face of adversity.
