Princess Alexandra - A Moment of Serenity Before the Royal Union
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this black and white lithograph captured in 1863, we witness a private glimpse into the preparations of Princess Alexandra for her highly anticipated wedding ceremony. The young Danish princess is seated gracefully in front of an ornate mirror, surrounded by her devoted maids-in-waiting within the temporary dressing room at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. The image exudes a sense of tranquility as Princess Alexandra takes a moment to reflect upon herself before stepping into her ceremonial costume. Her regal presence is undeniable, with every detail meticulously attended to. The grandeur of Windsor Castle serves as a majestic backdrop, emphasizing the significance and splendor of this historic occasion. As she gazes into the mirror, one can only imagine the thoughts running through her mind - excitement, anticipation, and perhaps even nervousness. This lithograph encapsulates not just a royal wedding but also captures a snapshot of history during the 19th century. Princess Alexandra's marriage marked an important union between Denmark and Britain while solidifying her position as Queen Consort alongside King Edward VII. It symbolizes love transcending borders and cultures. This remarkable print from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery allows us to delve deep into history's corridors and witness this intimate moment that would forever change Princess Alexandra's life – from princess to queen – leaving an indelible mark on both nations involved.
