EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a heartwarming moment between Kaiser Wilhelm I and his grandson, the future Kaiser Wilhelm II, as they wave to the adoring crowds below from the open window of a palace in Berlin during the late 1880s. The image, dated 1887, portrays the strong bond between the two German monarchs, with the elderly Kaiser Wilhelm I, dressed in a formal military uniform, proudly displaying his regal bearing, while his grandson, Kaiser Wilhelm II, dressed in the casual attire of a young prince, mirrors his grandfather's gesture with a warm and genuine smile. The people below, clad in their Sunday best, eagerly wave back, creating a sense of unity and connection between the imperial family and the German populace. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of a time when monarchs were revered figures, and the relationship between the ruling family and the people was a source of great pride and unity for the nation.
