EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a tender moment between Wilhelm II, the future German Emperor (1859-1941), and his mother, Queen Victoria (1819-1901), in the year 1888. The image, taken during Victoria's visit to Germany, shows the eldest child of the British monarch (1840-1901) in an armchair, engrossed in a book, while his mother looks on with a protective and loving gaze. Wilhelm, born in 1859, was the first German-born heir to the Prussian and then the German thrones. His close relationship with his mother, who was also the Empress of India and the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, was a source of strength and support throughout his life. The gothic-style room, with its ornate furnishings and rich colors, adds to the historical and regal atmosphere of the scene. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the complex and intricate web of European royalty in the late 19th century, as well as the deep bond between a mother and her son. This image, taken in the late 1880s, is a testament to the enduring love and influence of Queen Victoria, who reigned from 1837 to 1901, and her impact on her eldest child, Wilhelm II, who would go on to rule as the German Emperor until his abdication in 1918. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the rich history and complexities of European monarchies in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
