This is a portrait of Wilhelm I, King of Prussia and later the first German Emperor, taken by photographer Albert between 1855-1870. The portrait is a carte-de-visite, a small-format photograph popular in the 19th century. This style of portrait depicts Wilhelm I in a formal pose, wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and a dark bow tie, emphasizing his status as a powerful ruler. The use of a simple backdrop and framing focuses the viewer's attention on the subject, conveying an air of authority and dignity.
