Description: This button was likely commissioned as a souvenir to celebrate the Prince's trip to the US in 1902. "Prinz Albert Wilhelm Heinrich von Preußen or Prince Henry of Prussia (born Albert Wilhelm Heinrich, 14 August 1862 – 20 April 1929) was a younger brother of German Emperor William II and a Prince of Prussia. A career naval officer, he held various commands in the Imperial German Navy and eventually rose to the rank of Grand Admiral." "Henry had little in common with his brother, the German Emperor. He lacked, for example, William II's erratic nature and egotism. The prince was truly popular in Northern Germany, and on account of his humble and open manner was beloved by those under his command. On foreign travels, he was a good diplomat, who, unlike his brother, was able to strike the right tone. Thus, on his 1902 trip to the United States, Henry made a favorable impression with the critical American press and succeeded in winning the sympathy of more than just the numerous German-American segment of the population." "Prince Henry's activities during his visit to the United States between February 22 and March 11, 1902. The Prince arrives in New York City, takes a day trip to Washington, D.C. for events at the White House and Capitol, and attends the launching of Kaiser Wilhelm II's new yacht "Meteor III," christened by Miss Alice Roosevelt, at Shooters Island. Prince Henry returns to Washington to attend a memorial service to President McKinley at the U.S. Capitol, followed by an extended train trip on a special rail car to the South and West with stops at Lookout Mountain, Tennessee and the Lincoln Monument in Chicago, Illinois. Returning to the East Coast he visits the state capitol in Boston, Massachusetts, reviews cadets at West Point, New York, and is the guest of honor at a reception at the Union League in Philadelphia. Prince Henry leaves New York on the S.S. Deutschland." Measures approximately 1 1/4 by 1 1/4 Box J 02282022Weight 1 ounce
