A propos de cet article

containing drawings by the Princes, letters and telegrams to Miss Howard from the Empress Auguste Victoria and members of the Court, nearly all in English, photographs signed by the Princes and mementoes of their travels, menus of occasions when she dined with Wilhelm II and other invitations, and parts of long letters by Miss Howard to her family in England, with a Reprint of the text of her book 'Potsdam Princes' (originally London and New York, 1916) and an article about her from the New York Times (2nd July 1916), together about 150 items, Potsdam, Berlin, Kiel, Windsor and elsewhere, 1896 - some items including the drawings worn at the edges, some items a little dust soiled, but generally in good average condition In December 1895, Miss Howard's charges were (later Crown Prince) Wilhelm (13½), Eitel Friedrich ('Fritz', 12½), Adalbert (11½), August Wilhelm ('Auwi', approaching 9) and Oskar (7½). Joachim (5) and Viktoria Luise ('Sissy', 3) were in the nursery under Mrs Matcham, but Miss Howard occasionally looked after them. Miss Howard was greatly loved by the Empress, her ladies and the boys, but the constant strain of extra duty and royal dress and other protocol took their toll. From April to towards the end of June 1898 Miss Howard spent ten weeks in the Augusta Hospital, Berlin, exhausted after the third year running without a holiday. (Compare the Empress's letters of 31st March and 8th April 1898, below). Her doctor, Prof. Ewald, stretched a royal command so that she could return to England (see Reprint, p. 80). The Empress, her ladies and the boys kept in touch for several years. There was an invitation to Windsor when the Empress, Auwi and Oskar went to see Queen Victoria, and there was talk of her returning. From 1901-1908 Miss Howard was governess to Prince Shimadzu, the orphan Duke of the Province of Satsuma, and his brothers in Tokyo, and several later items refer to this period. The parts of Miss Howard's letters home here present express her feelings very deeply, amid the enjoyment otherwise felt in her work. Her book shows her to be a shrewd and sensitive judge of character, both of boys and adults. Several items have dockets with notes by Miss Howard or by the editor of her book.
