EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, captures a regal moment in British royal history featuring Augusta of Hesse, Duchess of Cambridge (1811-1890), wife of Adolphus Frederick, Duke of Cambridge (1774-1850). The image, taken in the late 19th century, showcases the Duchess in all her elegance and refinement, adorned with an intricate aigrette of ostrich feathers in her hair. Augusta was born on March 31, 1797, in Hanau, Hesse, Germany, making her the eldest daughter of Prince Frederick of Hesse and Princess Wilhelmina of Baden. In 1816, she married Prince Adolphus Frederick, Duke of Cambridge, who was the fifth son of King George III of the United Kingdom. Their marriage was a significant union, as it strengthened the ties between the British and German royal families. The Duchess is depicted here in an elegant gown, with a demure expression and a confident posture. Her attire is adorned with exquisite detail, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the time. The aigrette, a fashionable accessory made of ostrich feathers, adds an air of sophistication and luxury to her appearance. Augusta's life as a Duchess of Cambridge was marked by her dedication to charitable causes and her role as a patron of the arts. She was particularly known for her support of the Royal Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals and the Royal Horticultural Society. Her husband, Duke Adolphus Frederick, served as Commander-in-Chief of the British Army, making their household a hub of military and social activity. This photograph print is a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who played a significant role in British and German royal history. With its rich detail and historical significance, it is a must-have for any collection of royal or historical imagery.
