This postcard shows a very young Kronprinz mounted on a horse. While I cannot be certain, I have a hunch that the photograph was taken at Potsdam’s Castle Sanssouci, which was built by König Friedrich der Große. The postcard was not mailed.

This postcard shows the first important Prussian King, Frederick the Great. He led Prussia from a little-known German state to a recognized power in Europe. He is seen from the chest up (wearing his tricorn cap) in a charcoal sketch that is signed by the artist.

This is a very large and ornate monument of Kaiser Wilhelm I, located in Hildesheim. The monument shows Kaiser Wilhelm I mounted on a horse, wearing the helmet and uniform of the Regiment der Garde du Corps. In his right hand he holds a Generalfeldmarschall’s baton. Below him, standing on the ground, is Germania, the mythical patron and protector of Germany against France. She holds high in her left hand Germany’s crown. Under Wilhelm’s foot is a dragon that he has slain, much like Saint George or the Archangel Michael. The postcard just oozes symbolism and the might of Germany’s first Kaiser. On the postcard’s reverse is a written message. The postcard was mailed in August 1907.

They are carrying French Regimental Standards, topped by the legendary French Eagles, which Napoleon I had instituted during the early Napoleonic Wars. The postcard was mailed from Berlin to Philadelphia in 1911, commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Franco-Prussian War’s end.
