EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Princesses Alice and Vicky, the eldest daughters of Queen Victoria, during the tense mid-1860s when German countries declared war on Austria. The sisters, both married to German royals, found themselves on opposing sides of the conflict: Vicky's husband, Crown Prince Frederick of Prussia (later Emperor Frederick III of Germany, 1840-1888), commanded one of the three Prussian armies in the field, while Alice's husband, Grand Duke Ludwig IV of Hesse (1837-1892), led Hessian regiments on the front lines. Despite their husbands' roles in the war, the two sisters remained close, their bond as sisters transcending political tensions. The image, taken in the mid-1860s, is a poignant reminder of the personal connections that existed between European royals during a time of conflict. The photograph is particularly significant as it comes from a pivotal moment in European history: the Seven Weeks' War of 1866, which saw the emergence of Prussia as a dominant power in Germany. The sisters' enduring relationship serves as a testament to the complexities of royal life and the personal connections that persisted amidst political upheaval. The photograph, taken in the late 1860s, captures the sisters in their late twenties, with Alice on the right and Vicky on the left. Alice, who would later become Grand Duchess of Hesse and by Rhine, is seen wearing a white blouse and a dark skirt, while Vicky, who would later become Empress Frederick of Germany, is dressed in a dark gown with a white collar. The photograph is a rare glimpse into the lives of these two influential princesses during a time of great change in European history.
