This card is from the 1920s. The Prince and Princess of Stolberg-Wernigerode are sitting for a family portrait with their children and grandchildren. Prince Christian-Ernst (1864-1940) married Countess Marie zu Castell-Rüdenhausen (1864-1842) in 1891. Their only son, Hereditary Prince Bolko (1893-1989) married Princess Renata of Schonaich-Caroloth (1899-1985) in 1920.
The two babies are Princess Walpurgis (1921-1992) and the future Prince of Stolberg-Wernigeride, Christian-Heinrich (1922-2001). Princess Renate is holding Christian-Heinrich with her husband standing behind her. Not sure which of the two women in the second row is Princess Juliane, Prince Bolko's sister. Not sure who the other woman is, as Bolko's other sister, Walpurgis, died as a child.
