专家说明

The 1998 exhibition catalogue suggests that the royal cypher refers to Friedrich Wilhelm Nikolaus Carl, Prince of Prussia (1831-1888), later Emperor Frederick III of Prussia from March to June 1888. He was the only son of Emperor William I of Prussia (1797-1888) and married Queen Victoria's eldest daughter, the Princess Royal, and was succeeded by his son Emperor William II.
