Crown Prince Ludwig (left) with his mother, Queen Marie (in the centre) and his younger brother Otto (on the right), circa 1863. Otto would become king after the death of his older brother in 1886, although he would not be able to properly rule as King of Bavaria due to his mental health problems. The photo was taken privately for a family album, as was in vogue among many nobles during the period, and was not published at the time. (Source: Wikimedia)
