The Royal Marriage at Karlsruhe: the Crown Prince of Sweden and Norway, 1881. Engraving from a photograph by G. Florman. 'The Crown Prince of Sweden and Norway, Oscar Gustavus Adolphus, Duke of Vermland, is in his twenty-fourth year, having been born in 1858. He was educated privately; but took subsequently his public degrees at the University of Upsala, with great distinction, and he is also a student of the University of Christiania. He has received a military education, and has attained the rank of Major in the Swedish and Norwegian armies, and has displayed considerable military ability. He visited this country two years ago during his tour to the different Courts of Europe. He made at that time a considerable stay in this country, and was created an honorary LL.D. of Oxford University. It is intended after his marriage to create him "Jarl af Vikin," an ancient Norse title, of joint Norwegian and Swedish Royalty, which will correspond with the title of the heir apparent of England as Prince of Wales. The uniform in which he is represented in our Portrait is that of a Major of the Royal Norwegian Jagers'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
