Excerpt from The Mother of an Emperor: Reprints From Pen and Brush The permission to make the drawings contained in this collection was procured by my husband through the Hon. Nicholas Fish, who was the American Secretary of Legation during the years of our residence in Berlin. Mr. Fish secured from the Hofmarshallamt the rare opportunities which the original letter given opposite explains. Through the position of my husband, as American historian of Prussia, I was accorded every facility while making these sketches in the Charlottenburg and Monbijou Palaces. As they are the only sketches of the kind I know of, they will serve, I trust, as object-lessons even to advanced students in Prussian history. Two of the most interesting ones were lost in a recent fire while undergoing the electrotype process. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
