EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting black-and-white photograph, Princess Martha of Sweden, resplendent in a stylish hat and fur-trimmed coat, cradles her newborn son, Harald, in her arms. The tender moment, captured in March 1937, unfolds in the tranquil surroundings of a Scandinavian landscape. Princess Martha, the beloved daughter of King Gustaf V of Sweden, had married King Olav V of Norway in a grand ceremony held in Stockholm, Sweden, in January of that same year. The union between the two royal families was a significant event, as it marked the first time in history that a Swedish princess had married a Norwegian king. The future King Harald, dressed in a cozy white onesie and swaddled in a soft blanket, gazes up at his mother with curious, wide-open eyes. His parents' love and adoration for their newborn son are palpable, as they share a quiet, intimate moment in the midst of the excitement and fanfare that surrounded their new roles as royal parents. This photograph, a precious record of a cherished moment in Scandinavian royal history, offers a glimpse into the lives of Princess Martha and King Olav V as they embarked on their journey as a family. The image, with its timeless beauty and evocative sense of nostalgia, is a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between a mother and her child.
