The Royal Marriage at Berlin: arrival of the newly married pair at the Grand Schloss, Potsdam, from a sketch by our special artist, Mr. William Simpson, 1881. Marriage of Prince William of Prussia to Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg. The engraving '...represents the Royal pair next day entering the Schloss at Potsdam, which was the closing scene of the wedding. As we have before explained, they only take up a temporary abode in the Schloss till the Winter Palace is got ready for them, which will not be for some months yet. In a few weeks their intention is to start on a sort of honeymoon tour, and they will visit some of the Courts of Europe, and perhaps go on as far as Italy'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
