I opened one of my royal postcard albums and selected a number of images to share here. I am always adding cards to the collection - but one eludes me: Grand Duchess Augusta of Mecklenburg-Strelitz ... I know a few cards exist ... so keep looking for Augusta, for her husband Friedrich Wilhelm, their son, Adolphus Friedrich and his family.
My postcard collection includes more than 9000 cards from the late 1800s to the present.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the Pics. But 2 questions:
Is the child with Princess Adalbert (which is i think Maria de la Paz) really Pricne Kosntantin. Or could it be Prince Leopold (Poldi). Because she has no grandon Konsanntin
And who is Prince Viktor of Hohenzollern? Cant find him in the Genealogies.
Konstantin was Adalbert's son. Changed text. I presume the Viktor was the younger twin
ReplyDeleteThanks. The younger of the Hohenzollern tiwns was Franz Joseph. The Hereditary pricne ws Freidrich and Victori his second name so perhaps an Error when the printed nthe Cards.
