Oscar II., King of Sweden and Norway, 1872. 'A portrait of the late King of Sweden and Norway, Charles XV., was given in our last Publication. We now present one of his brother and successor, King Oscar II., hitherto styled Duke of East Gothland, and holding the rank of Lieutenant-General in the Army and Vice-Admiral in the Navy. His Majesty is known to be a Prince of enlightened and refined mind, with an earnest benevolence which has been shown in his labours for different philanthropic objects. In this respect he is considered like his father, King Oscar I., while he seems devoid of that spirit of gallantry and adventure which distinguished his elder brother. King Oscar II. is forty-three years of age, having been born on Jan. 21, 1829. He married, in 1857, Princess Sophia of Nassau, daughter of the late Duke Wilhelm of Nassau, and has four sons, Gustavus, Oscar, Charles, and Eugene. The Portrait is engraved from a photograph by Curenius and Quist, of Stockholm'. From "Illustrated London News", 1872.
