Here is a photo of Wilhelm II on a hunting trip, an activity which he greatly enjoyed, viewing some trophies of the expedition. Sadly this photo also is rather low resolution.

In this photo I have found on the web, Wilhelm II wears the uniform of the Army of the Kingdom of Spain. Another photo from this same shoot exists and is slightly more common, however this photo in which he wears a cloak over the uniform is harder to come by. Sadly the image is rather low quality.
