EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in British history - the marriage of Princess Helena at Windsor Castle in 1866. The daughter of Queen Victoria, Princess Helena (1846-1923) exchanged vows with Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein on the 5th of July, surrounded by an exuberant crowd. The image showcases the grandeur and splendor of the royal event. A procession led by a military escort parades through the streets as cheering crowds line their path. Soldiers from the Horse Guard stand tall, adding to the regal atmosphere. The carriage carrying Princess Helena and Prince Christian is beautifully adorned, symbolizing their union. Windsor Castle stands proudly in the background, its imposing presence emphasizing both tradition and fortification. This historic building has witnessed countless royal events throughout centuries.
