PRINCELY ARTIST
APPEAL TO COPYRIGHT LAW KAISER’S GRANDSON’S PROTEST With an appeal to the copyright law for constructive art and photography. Prince Wilhelm von Hohenzollern, the eldest son of the former Crown Prince, filed a legal protest against the reproduction of his picture in the book of the pseudo Prince, Harry Domela. published by the Malik Verlagr. The Prince’s suit, however, was rejected by the publishers’ attorneys on the ground that according to the law all topical pictures may be reproduced without the special sanction of the original. They contended that as a member of the Hohenzollern family the Prince, who recently came into the public limelight by reason of his irregular participation in the manoeuvres of the German forces of defence, was by no means justified suddenly to claim the rights of a simple citizen, especially as the book in question was in no way concerned with his person and his photograph had merely been published to give the reader an opportunity of comparing the imposter with himself.
