The Crown Prince of Saxony, Friedrich III (1463-1525), known as "the Wise, " was an influential figure during his time. As the Elector of Saxony in 1533, he played a crucial role in shaping the political landscape of Germany. This portrait by Lucas Cranach the Elder captures his regal presence and intellect. In another era, we see the Crown Prince of Prussia around 1872, portrayed here by William Holl. His poised demeanor hints at the responsibility that lay ahead for him as he prepared to ascend to the throne. A significant moment in history is immortalized in a photograph from 1858: The Marriage of Princess Royal with Prince Frederick William of Prussia. This union would later result in their son becoming Emperor Frederick III. The image evokes a sense of grandeur and anticipation for what lies ahead. Emperor Frederick III himself is depicted in another photograph from approximately 1888. Despite being plagued by illness throughout his reign, this image portrays him with strength and determination befitting a ruler. During times of conflict, Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm demonstrated bravery on numerous occasions. In one such instance captured here from 1870, he stands solemnly beside the body of General Douay after battle—a poignant reminder of sacrifice and duty. Away from politics and warfare, we catch glimpses into more lighthearted moments within royal life. Banbury Cross provides us with an enchanting scene from around 1896—an idyllic setting where royalty can momentarily escape their responsibilities. Princess Alexandra's procession up St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle in 1863 showcases her grace and elegance as she fulfills her ceremonial duties—a testament to both tradition and modernity intertwining seamlessly. Kaiser Friedrich II graces our collection with an intriguing portrait dating back to 1831-1888—his piercing gaze hinting at both power and vulnerability beneath his imperial facade.
