EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Royal Wedding in Coburg" takes us back to a momentous occasion that unfolded on April 28,1894. The print showcases the grandeur and opulence of a royal wedding, capturing the essence of this historical event. The scene is set at a railway station in Coburg, Germany, where members of European royalty have gathered to celebrate the union between Princess Victoria Melita of Saxe-Coburg and her groom, Duke Ernest Louis. As we gaze upon this image brought to life by William Barnes Wollen's skilled hand, we are transported into an era filled with elegance and splendor. Amidst the crowd stands German Emperor Wilhelm II himself alongside his queen. The couple watches attentively as officers from the 1st Wiltshire Regiment present them with royal gifts. A silver-framed mirror catches our eye while nearby lies an exquisite diamond brooch - symbols of wealth and prestige. Intriguingly, we witness not only the exchange of presents but also glimpses into personal interactions among esteemed guests. The Grand Duke of Hesse converses animatedly with other attendees while Her Royal Highness Princess Victoria Melita beams radiantly beside her new husband. This remarkable engraving immortalizes a significant moment in history when two noble families united through matrimony. It serves as a testament to both love and power within European royalty during that time period.
