EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph taken in 1898, we see Queen Alexandra of Great Britain (1844-1925), the consort of King Edward VII, warmly embracing her older sister, Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna of Russia, formerly Princess Dagmar of Denmark (1847-1928). The sisters' affectionate reunion is a testament to their deep bond, which transcended political and national boundaries. Alexandra, a Danish princess by birth, married the future King Edward VII of the United Kingdom in 1863. Her husband's accession to the throne in 1901 brought her to the forefront of British society and made her a beloved figure. Marie Feodorovna, on the other hand, had married Tsar Alexander III of Russia in 1866 and became the Empress of Russia in 1881 upon his death. Her tenure as empress was marked by her strong influence on her husband and her dedication to the welfare of her people. Despite their prominent roles in their respective countries, the sisters remained close throughout their lives. In this photograph, taken during Marie Feodorovna's visit to England, they are seen enjoying a moment of sisterly affection, their faces expressing the deep love and connection that bound them together. The sisters' relationship serves as a reminder of the enduring power of familial ties, even in the face of political and geographical distances. The photograph captures the sisters in elegant attire, with Alexandra wearing a flowing white gown and Marie Feodorovna in a richly decorated Russian dress. The sisters' regal bearing and the opulent setting of the photograph underscore their status as two of the most powerful women in Europe at the time. The image is a beautiful representation of the sisters' shared history and their unwavering bond, which endured through the many changes and challenges of their lives.
