EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of relaxation and joy for German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II and his youngest child, eighteen-year-old Princess Viktoria Luise, on board the royal yacht Hohenzollern in 1910. The imperial family is known for their love of dogs, and in this image, two dachshunds join the Kaiser and his daughter, adding a playful touch to the scene. Kaiser Wilhelm II, born in 1859, ruled as the German Emperor and King of Prussia from 1888 until his abdication in 1918. Princess Viktoria Luise, born in 1892, was the only daughter of the Kaiser and his second wife, Empress Frederick. In 1913, she married Duke Ernst August of Brunswick, making her the Duchess of Brunswick. The Kaiser, dressed in his naval uniform, gazes intently through a telescope, while Princess Viktoria Luise playfully holds the leashes of the dachshunds. The relaxed atmosphere on the yacht, with the sun shining on the water and the dogs at their feet, creates a sense of tranquility and happiness. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the personal lives of the German imperial family, offering a glimpse into their love for their pets and their enjoyment of the outdoors. The image is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when royalty and their families could freely enjoy the pleasures of life, away from the pressures and responsibilities of ruling a vast empire.
