EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh (1844-1900), second son of Queen Victoria, in full military regalia as he stands against the backdrop of Edinburgh Castle. The Duke, who served in the British Army for over 50 years, is adorned with an impressive array of medals, epaulettes, and braid, signifying his long and distinguished military career. The year is 1900, and Alfred's beard, now heavily salt-and-peppered, frames his stern yet resolute expression. Edinburgh Castle, a historic fortress and iconic symbol of Scotland's rich history, serves as a fitting setting for this portrait of the Duke. Built in the 12th century, the castle has played a pivotal role in the country's political and military history. Its imposing stone walls and towering turrets stand as a testament to the enduring strength and resilience of Scotland's past. Alfred, who was born in 1844, was the third child and second son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. He was educated at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich and served in the Crimean War, the Indian Mutiny, and the Zulu War. In 1862, he married Princess Marie Alexandrine of Denmark, with whom he had four children. Alfred was known for his dedication to his military duties and his commitment to the welfare of his soldiers. He was also a patron of the arts and supported various charitable causes throughout his life. This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, offers a glimpse into the life of a British royal and military figure during a time of great change and transformation in history. The intricate details of Alfred's uniform, the grandeur of Edinburgh Castle, and the Duke's unwavering gaze all contribute to a powerful and evocative image that transports us back in time.
