This opulently illustrated book allows you to immerse yourself in the court and daily life of the last Saxon kings, their families, and servants, set against the backdrop of the residence palace, palaces, villas, and the Baroque jewels of Moritzburg and Pillnitz. It transports you to the time when Dresden was still the residence city of the legendary ruling house of the Wettins, featuring partly unpublished photographs and paintings that Princess Mathilde captured around 1900, reflecting the atmosphere at the Dresden court. The author does not conclude with the abdication of Friedrich August III but continues to trace the fate of the dynasty and its creations into the recent present. Additionally, genealogical tables of the Albertine Wettins from the 19th to the 21st century make this publication an important reference work.
