Description: In a garden with tall trees and a low fence, William II in a long jacket stands among a pile of sawn blocks of wood, a sawhorse and a cart, and raises one hand as he talks. Sawing and splitting wood in the park became the daily exercise of the emperor in exile; he had fled to the Netherlands in November 1918 and moved to Huis Doorn in May 1920.
