EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a significant moment in history - the christening of Prince Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, in the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle in 1844. The image showcases the solemn ceremony conducted by William Howley, Archbishop of Canterbury, as he baptizes Queen Victoria's beloved son. The print is taken from an edition of "Illustrated London News" from 1844, providing a glimpse into the past and allowing us to witness this grand event. The architectural beauty of Windsor Castle's chapel is evident in its Gothic design, adding to the regal atmosphere surrounding the occasion. Intriguingly captured are various individuals present during this historic event. We see men dressed in clerical attire fulfilling their roles as clergymen and bishops alongside other distinguished guests who have gathered for this momentous occasion. Among them is Prince Albert himself, standing tall beside his wife Queen Victoria. This photograph offers a fascinating insight into nineteenth-century British society and its strong ties with religion and monarchy. It serves as a reminder not only of the importance placed on tradition but also highlights how such events were documented through newspapers like "Illustrated London News". This particular print preserves an invaluable piece of history that continues to captivate viewers even today.
