Hallo, wir müssen mal kurz Kontakt gehabt haben, die zwei Geschenkrahmen Kaiserin Friedrich und Auguste Victoria hatten Sie mir gezeigtLiebe Freunde,
Ich freue mich sehr, Ihnen die neueste Ergänzung meiner Sammlung präsentieren zu können.
Es handelt sich um einen Präsentationsrahmen mit einer signierten Fotografie von Kronprinzessin Victoria von Preußen, der späteren Kaiserin Friedrich. Die Fotografie stammt aus dem Jahr 1883 und wurde vom königlichen Fotoatelier „Reichard & Linder“ aufgenommen.
Die Unterschrift wurde mit Bleistift geschrieben und ist leider aufgrund von Verschmutzungen oder Verfärbungen schwer lesbar.

Präsentationsrahmen mit signierten Fotos von Kaiserin Friedrich sind sehr selten, ich habe vorher nicht viele mehr gesehen. Deshalb bin ich sehr stolz, diesen hier endlich gefunden und bekommen zu haben.
Ich denke, ich werde es zu einem Fotorestaurator bringen, vielleicht ist es möglich, den Bereich mit der Signatur ein wenig zu reinigen, aber hauptsächlich, um ihn zu konservieren und so vor weiterer Zersetzung zu schützen.

These presentation frames with signed photos were gifts for special people whom the nobility wanted to thank for their services or to whom they felt particularly close. Photography was still relatively new and it was something very special to receive a signed photo from a head of state. People like Bismarck or special personalities (e.g. Hagenbeck) received such beautiful decorated presentation frames. Depending on rank and personality, the frames had different sizes and were simple or exquisitely decorated. The ones shown above were the specially decorated presentation frames for important people. But I also own wooden gift frames that were given to officers (in my case a navy captain) or hoteliers, where the nobility felt particularly comfortable.
In addition to signed and unsigned photos, brooches, pins and other items with higher or lower value were also given as gifts of thanks and appreciation.

These presentation photos are exquisite Sandy. What an interesting area of Imperial German collecting you've found.These presentation frames with signed photos were gifts for special people whom the nobility wanted to thank for their services or to whom they felt particularly close.

Depending on rank and personality, the frames had different sizes and were simple or exquisitely decorated. The ones shown above were the specially decorated presentation frames for important people.
