EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the marriage between Prince Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia. The grand event took place on 23 January 1874 at the Winter Palace in St Petersburg, Russia. The image showcases the opulence of the palace's interior with its magnificent chandeliers illuminating the scene. A Russian Orthodox priest stands before a beautifully adorned altar, ready to officiate their union according to religious traditions. In this regal setting, surrounded by family members, nobility, and distinguished guests, Prince Alfred appears dashing in his formal attire while his bride exudes elegance in her wedding gown. Their faces radiate joy as they embark on their journey together as husband and wife. This royal wedding was not only a significant personal milestone for both families but also held political importance as it strengthened ties between Britain and Russia during that time. Queen Victoria herself played an instrumental role in arranging this alliance for her beloved son. Preserved through an engraving by N Chevalier from Robert Wilson's book "The Life and Times of Queen Victoria" this image offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when marriages were celebrated with grandeur befitting royalty. It serves as a testament to love transcending borders and cultures while capturing an important chapter in European history.
