Design for the tent on the "Kaiserzersel" in the inland. In October 1888, Emperor Wilhelm II visited the Hanseatic city in order to set the final stone of the Brooks Bridge and thus told the Hamburg Freeport. On the Inland Object should create an "Kaiser Island" on this occasion, on which another festival was planned. However, the island never came to execution. The design drawings of the Hamburg architect George Thielen are unusually lively compared to other architectural drawings of the time. Waving pennants and Hanseatic red-white tent lanes promise a cosmopolitan atmosphere.
