I want to share with you this nice imperial wall-carpet. It measures 6,6 x 2,5 feet and shows the re-conquest of the fortress of Przemysl at the eastern front in June 1915. You can see german and austrian soldiers in the left, and the austrian emperor Franz-Josef together with the german emperor Wilhelm in the middle, in the background a zeppelin in the air and a view over the burning Przemysl with captured russian soldiers. At the right side german and austrian generals, you can see the german Kronzprinz with his hussars-cap.

The piece came from Dresden, and was, I presume, a present of the the emperor to a saxonian regiment or to a highranking, in Dresden living officer.
