PRUSSIAN SOLDIER AND HIS FAMILY POSE IN FURSTENWALDE, GERMANY

officeer and family_0006A Prussian soldier, his wife, and son pose for their portrait in the  Schmidt studio in Furstenwalde, Germany. The photograph is dated 1898. The photograph shows a bit more intimacy than most during this time period. The soldiers son is holding his fathers hand and the soldiers wife appears to have her arm against her husbands shoulder. Note the soldiers moustache; it curves upward rather than the regularly seen downward. Perhaps a visitor to this entry can ascertain the soldiers rank and branch of service.
