Regal cabinet card of Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught & Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia posed with Prince Friedrich Karl of Prussia. The young woman on the bottom left seems to be Princess Marie of Prussia, Prince Karl’s other daughter. We aren’t positive of the other young man and woman, possibly daughter Princess Elisabeth of Prussia and son Prince Friedrich Leopold of Prussia. Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn was the seventh child and third son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. He served as Governor General of Canada. Princess Louise Margaret was a member of the House of Hohenzollern when she married into the British royal family. She served as the vice regal consort of Canada while Arthur was Governor General. Prince Friedrich Karl Nikolaus of Prussia was the son of Prince Charles of Prussia. Prince Friedrich Karl was a grandson of King Frederick William III of Prussia and a nephew of Frederick William IV and William I. As a military man he commanded one of the armies that defeated the Austrian army at the Battle of Königgrätz in 1866 and the French Army of the Rhine at the Battle of Mars-la-Tour. The image is in very good plus condition with nice tones and contrast. It is dated 1878 by Herman Selle, Potsdam, Germany.
