"The World's Sovereigns". A photomontage made in Europe in 1889 with the main heads of state in the world. From left to right: Yohannes IV of Ethiopia, Tewfik Pasha of Egypt, Sultan Abdülhamit II of the Ottoman Empire, Naser al-Din Shah Qajar of Persia, Christian IX of Denmark, Luís I of Portugal, William III of the Netherlands, Pedro II of Brazil, Milan Obrenović IV of Serbia, Leopold II of Belgium, Alexander III of Russia, Wilhelm I, German Emperor (deceased 1888), Franz Joseph I of Austria, Victoria of the United Kingdom, Jules Grévy of France (left office 1887), Pope Leo XIII, Emperor Meiji of Japan, Guangxu Emperor of China (not confirmed), Umberto I of Italy, Alfonso XII of Spain (deceased 1885), Oscar II of Sweden and Chester A. Arthur of the United States (left office 1885, deceased 1886). Three of the photographers, who provided (willingly or not) photographic-material for the photomontage, are identified: Photo of Abdul Hamid II. by W. & D. Downey, London https://www.liberaldictionary.com/abdul-hamid-ii/ (File used in picture is bottom-left). Franz-Joseph I.`s photo comes from Ferenc Kosmata https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Doctor_Kozmata_Portrait_of_Franz_Joseph_I_1872.jpg, photographed in Schloss Schönbrunn. Umberto I. was photographed by Stereoscopic Coy. London Due to the fact, that Queen Victoria had been photographed by both, W&D Downey and Stereoscopic Coy., it is likely, that her photo comes from one of these sources.
