Carte-de-visite photograph of Prince Joachim Albrecht of Prussia (1876-1939) on the left of the image, and his brother Prince Friedrich Heinrich Albrecht of Prussia (1874-1940) on the right of the image. The subjects are shown in three quarter view, facing towards the left of the image, resting against a cushion trimmed with tassels. They are wearing pale coloured gowns with gathered lace detail, and their hair is blonde.
The subjects' parents were Prince Albert of Prussia and Princess Marie of Saxe-Altenburg. In 1919 Joachim Albrecht married Marie Blich-Sulzer, although this marriage was never recognised by his family. In 1920 he married Karoline Kornelia Stockhammer but this marriage ended in divorce. Joachim had no children. Friedrich Heinrich Albrecht never married.Provenance
