Front Cover Engraving: A Royal Winter Scene at Sandringham, Norfolk - Princess of Wales Sledging with Her Daughters, Maud, Louise, and Victoria (December 1887) This exquisite engraving, published in 1887 by Illustrated London News, captures a delightful moment in the history of the British monarchy. The image shows Princess Alexandra of Wales, the consort of the future King Edward VII, enjoying a winter day at Sandringham House in Norfolk with her three daughters: Princesses Maud, Louise, and Victoria. The Princess, dressed in a warm fur-trimmed coat and hat, sits confidently atop a sledge, her arms wrapped protectively around her eldest daughter, Maud. The girls, bundled up against the cold, laugh and cling to each other as they are pulled along the frozen lake by unseen attendants. Princess Louise, the youngest, stands on the sledge, her hands on her hips, seemingly in charge of the outing. The tranquil scene on the lake at Sandringham contrasts sharply with the hustle and bustle of the royal court. The Princess and her daughters are seen in a more informal, relaxed setting, away from the formalities and expectations of their royal duties. The engraving offers a glimpse into the private lives of the royals, showcasing their playful and joyful moments. The image is a testament to the enduring bond between the Princess and her daughters, as well as the love and care she provided them. The scene is also a reminder of the simple pleasures of winter and the joy of spending time with family. This engraving, with its historical significance and beautiful detail, remains a cherished piece of royal and winter history.
