Seek Help To Identify Photos in Musical Book
By Craig Smith

Hi Folks,  Recently I bought a music box that is in the form of a large
book.  Usually this would have several pages of photographs followed by
a few cut-out pages with a music box mounted in the hollowed-out space.

But this musical book has an 8-inch disk on which are mounted 8 albumen
photos: 4 men and 4 women.  The music box is geared to make the disk
turn slowly so that the pictures appear sequentially in an oval window.
One of the pictures appears to be Kaiser Wilhelm I.  I would like to
know who the other three men are and if the women are the matching wives.

If you're into German or eastern Europe history, and especially if you
reside in that area, please take a look at the pictures and let me know
if you recognize any of them.  I've combined all 8 pictures onto one
sheet so you can easily view them all at once.

Thanks for your help.

Craig Smith
