kapten_windu Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 This photo was taken during the visit of Herzog Johann Albrecht von Mecklenburg to SISKS Pakoe Boewono X in Kasunanan Palace, Soerakarta The question is: why did he go almost half of the earth to Soerakarta just to visit Pakoe Boewono X??

GdC26 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Kapten-windu, Not sure, but there were of course close ties between the Dutch Royal House and the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg (the Dutch prince-consort, prince Henry, Queen Wilhelmina's husband, of course hailed from Mecklenburg). In any event, it surely is a beautiful picture you have there. Would it be possible to post a close up of the Duke? Regards, Sandro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
