ROYALTY Emperor William II Reichstag, Huge Double-Folio 1880s Antique Print For Sale

You are offerding on a huge original antique print from an 1880s illustrated journal.

It depicts the newly crowned Wmperor WIlliam II addressing the Reichstag. Wilhelm II (Friedrich Wilhelm Viktor Albert von Hohenzollern; 1859 – 1941) was the last German Emperor (Kaiser) and King of Prussia, ruling the German Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia from 15 June 1888 to 9 November 1918. He was the eldest grandchild of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and related to many monarchs and princes of Europe, most notably, King George V of the United Kingdom and Emperor Nicholas II of Russia.

It is very large (double folio size), measuring approximately22 x 16 inches (56 x 40.5 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below. The back of the print is blanks, which means it was probably a rare supplement to the journal.

The print has a fold in the middle, where it was folded into the magazine long ago. Note that the fold line is clean and undamaged, because it was \"tipped\" into the binding. This was a luxury binding technique of that era, because the double page prints were free of binding holes down the center.

PLEASE NOTE: The page has some light brown fox marks in the outer whitemargin area of the print. See scan for an accurate view of the condition.

This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
