EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a historic moment in international relations between Britain and Germany during the late 19th century. The image, titled "H.R.H. The Prince of Russia Investing H.R.H. The Prince of Wales with the Order of the Black Eagle in Berlin," was published in The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper, Volume 44, in 1891. The scene unfolds in Berlin, where Prince Albert Edward, later King Edward VII of Great Britain and Ireland, is being invested with the prestigious Order of the Black Eagle by His Royal Highness The Prince of Russia, who remains unidentified in this photograph. The Order of the Black Eagle was a Prussian order of chivalry, and this investiture ceremony marked a significant diplomatic gesture towards Britain, strengthening the relationship between the two countries. The black-and-white photograph, taken in the Victorian era, showcases the grandeur and opulence of the occasion. The princes are dressed in their formal attire, with the Prince of Wales wearing the insignia of the Order of the Garter, while the Prince of Russia dons his military uniform adorned with the Order of the Black Eagle. The setting is a grand hall, with ornate decorations and large chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and diplomacy of the late 19th century, providing a glimpse into the world of royalty and international relations during this period. The image, from the archives of The Print Collector, adds to our understanding of the past and offers a fascinating insight into the lives of the royal figures of the time.
