EDITORS COMMENTS
This Carte-de-Visite (CDV) photograph captures a moment of quiet reflection as Queen Alexandra, the beloved wife of Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII of the United Kingdom), engages in the pastime of reading. The image, dated between 1844 and 1925, showcases the regal elegance of the Queen in her crinoline gown and ornate headdress, embodying the grace and sophistication of the British monarchy during the late Victorian era. Alexandra of Denmark, born Princess Alexandra of Denmark in 1844, was the consort of the future King Edward VII. Their marriage in 1863 brought together two European royal families, as Alexandra was the daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark and Princess Louise of Hesse and by Rhine. The union of these two influential royal houses strengthened diplomatic ties between Denmark and the United Kingdom. In this photograph, Queen Alexandra sits in a comfortable chair, her hands delicately holding a book as she focuses intently on its pages. The serene expression on her face conveys a deep engagement with the material, highlighting her intellectual curiosity and passion for learning. The intricate detail of her crinoline gown, with its layers of tulle and satin, adds an air of opulence and grandeur to the scene. This historical CDV photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the private life of a remarkable queen and her dedication to the pursuit of knowledge. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the British monarchy and the captivating stories of its members.
