[FRIEDRICH III
(Wilhelm Nikolaus, 1831-1888, son-in-law of Queen Victoria, Emperor of Germany for 99 days) & his wife
VICTORIA
(1840-1901, Empress Frederick of Germany, eldest child of Queen Victoria & mother of Kaiser Wilhelm II)]
Fine unsigned carte de visite photo by Mayall,
showing the Emperor seated, reading a paper, with his wife standing behind him looking at it over his shoulder, 4" x 2½", no place, no date
Pictures of Friedrich III are uncommon due to his early death from throat cancer. He only survived his father Wilhelm I by three months. As Crown Prince his position was made very difficult by his opposition to Bismarck and also as his wife Victoria, Empress Frederick antagonised the Prussian people with her aggressive & tactless Englishness.
