KAISER WILHELM II OF GERMANY

silk bookmark 150 x 32 mm
the woven thin silk is sewn on a stiffened black ribbon

Bookmark produced on the occasion of his 25 year
of reign showing the battle ship HMS Deutschland.
Wilhelm II, a grandchild of Queen Victoria, built a
naval fleet to rival that of Great Britain. He loved
his numerous uniforms and surrounded himself
with the elite of the German military society.
Therefore, it is not unlikely that this bookmark
was produced to serve as a present for his officers.
