Description: You are bidding on a huge original antique print from an 1870s illustrated journal. It depicts crownprince Frederick III of Prussia conferring the Iron Cross on soldiers at a park in Versailles France. Frederick III later became the German Emperor and King of Prussia for 99 days in 1888, the Year of the Three Emperors. Friedrich Wilhelm Nikolaus Karl, known informally as Fritz, was the only son of German Emperor/King of Prussia Wilhelm I and was raised in his family's tradition of military service. It is very large (double elephant folio size), measuring approximately 22 x 15.5 inches (56 x 40 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below.The caption reads: The Crown Prince of Prussia Conferring the "Iron Cross" upon a soldier in the park of Versailles. The honored soldier placed his own hand in the Prince's, who shook it. Then he rode back to the ranks, conscious that his palm reposed the coved decoration of the Iron Cross.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. The page is in excellent condition for its age, except for one pinhole along the fold line. See scan for an accurate view of the condition. This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
