Life Magazine has recently allowed Google to start posting millions of old photos from Life's archives, including many that have never been seen before. I noticed several here that UK coin collectors might enjoy perusing! image

    Is there a date for the Picture?

    Queen Victoria's daughter Victoria Adelaide Mary Louisa 1840-1901 was Pricess Royal of Great Britain and for a time Crown Princess of Prussia.

    Wilhelm II 's (son of V.A.D.L. just above) had a daughter Viktoria Luise 1892-1980. From the detail of the picture and the title of "plain" princess, I tend to think it was the latter.

    Note neither had the exact name "Louise".

    <<1908 for the picture.>>

    Of the 3 Victoria's, only the youngest was alive then.

    Both Queen and Emperesses Victoria's, mother and daughter, Britain and Prussia, India and Germany died in 1901.
