to show the future Emperor of Japan during World War II under the headline "People Talked About" in a September 19, 1912 issue of Leslie's Illustrated Weekly Newspaper.
People Talked About, indeed. At the young age of 11, Prince Hirohito Michinomiya is shown here as the "heir apparent to the throne of Japan." Fourteen years later, he would become Emperor Hirohito of the Japanese Empire and an important figurehead up through the late 1980s.
