[FRIEDRICH III (1831-1888, Emperor of Germany)]

Fine unsigned carte de visite photo of a picture by F. Brandt's, showing the King in military uniform, 4" x 2½", n.p, taken 11th May

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.
