Victoria Louise, Prussian Princess. I think her biggest claim to fame is that her wedding was the last big gathering of the European royals before World War I broke out and the extended family was just never the same again. This is her at, I believe, 17 in 1909, as the honorary colonel of the II Life Hussars. This card hit my primary points for collecting historical images; it has 1) a cool horse and 2) a cool military hat.
