This is one of the best photographic portraits of Kaiser Wilhelm I've ever seen. And one of the few bare headed.

kind of an idiot.

You can see the family resemblance to Queen Victoria and her family, that is for sure.

The reason you can't see his left arm is because it was crippled and he was ashamed of that.

Please, befö: A mild form of madness was an hereditary chance, and the last(?) Kaiser may have inherited that. He did not want the Great War. He had been kept apart from his parents by Bismarck Bismarck was an unfit Chancellor - involving the Kaiserreich in alliances that did not work out as planned. His dismissal was far too late but quit proper, as he was doing the unthinkable: He was failing to consult his Kaiser on matters of national importance.

That's probably a boy.

The child appears to be a bit agitated. Very nice photo.

It's a tricky one, we vote for girl - although the socks and shoes suggest boy, when zoomed in there is a short dress with a wide belt with a fancy buckle and a buttoned pleat - we think a boy would have shorts at this age. Very cute all the same!

Interesting how much fashion has changed over the last century.....

best stash ever

movember winner 1902!

gorgeous. thank you mr raymond w. phillips.

Wonder if it was taken at the same time as the nurse holding twins photo. Has similar ferns etc. in the background.

It'd be nice to clean these up in photoshop really.
