EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the elegant and poised figure of Princess Victoria of Hesse on her wedding day to Prince Louis of Battenberg on May 3rd, 1884. Princess Victoria was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria, making her a much-anticipated addition to the royal family following the tragic death of her mother, Princess Alice of Hesse and the Rhine, in 1878. Born on November 15, 1863, Princess Victoria was the third daughter of Princess Alice and Grand Duke Ludwig IV of Hesse and by Rhine. Her mother's untimely passing at the age of 35 left a profound impact on the young princess, who was raised by her grandmother, Queen Victoria. The engraving shows Princess Victoria in her stunning wedding dress, which was designed by the renowned fashion designer, Madame Carrigari. The dress featured a high neckline, long sleeves, and a full skirt, reflecting the Victorian fashion of the time. The intricate detailing and elegant design were a testament to the grandeur of the occasion. Prince Louis of Battenberg, who was born on October 21, 1854, was the eldest son of Prince Alexander of Hesse and by Rhine. The couple's marriage was a significant event in European royal history, as it marked the first time that a German princess married a British prince. The union between Princess Victoria and Prince Louis brought the Hesse and Battenberg families closer together, and their descendants continue to hold prominent positions in European royal families to this day. The engraving is a fascinating glimpse into the history of the royal family and the grandeur of royal weddings during the Victorian era. It is a reminder of the close connections between the various European royal houses and the enduring legacy of the British monarchy.
