EDITORS COMMENTS
A Romantic Beginning: Prince Alfred and Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna's Winter Skate at the Winter Palace, St. Petersburg (January 24, 1874) This enchanting engraving from The Graphic captures the romantic moment when Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, and his new bride, Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna of Russia, gracefully glide across the ice rink at the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. The scene is set against the backdrop of the grand palace, adorned with intricate ice sculptures and twinkling lights, as the couple begins their new life together. The wedding ceremony, held on January 23, 1874, was celebrated in great detail by the Illustrated London News (ILN) papers. However, behind the scenes, Queen Victoria harbored reservations about the union between the British and Russian royal families. The Duchess, who was accustomed to the opulence of the Russian court, was also perceived as haughty by London society. Despite these challenges, the newlyweds' love shines through in this beautiful image. The poem accompanying the picture captures the hope and joy of their union: "Smoothly as the ice track bears them, Smooth may glide their future life, While two empires love declares them, Happy Prince and Happy Wife!" Prince Alfred had traveled to Russia to meet his bride, and the couple's skating session on the frozen Neva River was a symbol of their unity and shared happiness. This romantic scene serves as a reminder of the love and hope that transcends political and societal boundaries.
