EDITORS COMMENTS

Alfred Ernest Albert Wettin, also known as the Duke of Edinburgh, had a life filled with significant moments and achievements. One such event was his marriage to the Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna, which took place in 1856. The Day & Sons lithography workshop captured this beautiful union in an exquisite piece of art. As we delve into Prince Alfred's life, we catch a glimpse of him during his early years through John Jabez Edwin Mayall's captivating portrait from around 1860. This image showcases the young prince's regal demeanor and hints at the great future that lay ahead for him. However, not all moments were joyous for Alfred. In 1862, Queen Victoria experienced deep mourning after her beloved husband's passing. William Samuel Bambridge skillfully immortalized this poignant period in history with a touching depiction of Her Majesty draped in sorrowful attire. Amidst these personal milestones, Alfred also played a role on the grand stage of royalty. An unknown creator crafted a magnificent silver-gilt wine cooler at Windsor Castle in 1844 – an opulent symbol befitting his prestigious status within society. Religion held significance for Alfred as well; he was christened in the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle that same year. This sacred ceremony marked another step towards shaping his destiny as a prominent figure within British monarchy. Technological advancements fascinated Prince Alfred too; he witnessed the establishment of The Electric Telegraph Station at Slough in 1844 – an innovation that would revolutionize communication forever. The Duke's adventurous spirit led him to lay the Foundation Stone of the new Eddystone Lighthouse while serving as Prince of Wales – showcasing both his bravery and commitment to maritime safety. Later on, Faustin portrayed H. R. H The Duke of Edinburgh in 1874 with remarkable detail and elegance – capturing his dignified presence amidst military surroundings. In c1890-c1893, another artist immortalized the Duke of Edinburgh, showcasing his matured features and distinguished aura.
