Description
This postcard shows Crown Princess Louise of Saxony. She was married to Crown Prince Friedrich August and bore him seven children. She was extremely popular among the Saxons, but alienated her father-in-law and many courtiers. She was forced to flee Saxony in 1902, while pregnant with her 7th child, because King Georg threatened to put her in an insane asylum for life. He issued a royal decree divorcing her from his son in 1903. The postcard was never mailed.
