EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving captures the drawing room of St. Clare, Isle of Wight, where the newlywed Royal Highnesses, Princess Alice Maud Mary of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and Grand Duke Louis IV of Hesse and By Rhine, spent their honeymoon in 1862. The elegant room, adorned with exquisite furnishings and an ornate chimneypiece, was selected by Queen Victoria herself for her beloved niece and new nephew-in-law. The tranquil setting of St. Clare, at Spring Vale, was the residence of Colonel and Lady Katherine Vernon Harcourt. The Isle of Wight, off the southern coast of England, was renowned for its picturesque landscapes and idyllic countryside, making it an ideal choice for the couple's post-wedding retreat. The drawing room, with its grand fireplace mantel and fire screen, exudes an air of sophistication and comfort. The room is further enhanced by the elegant curtains, which frame the large windows, allowing the natural light to filter in and bathe the space in a warm glow. The room's interior design is a testament to the 19th-century British penchant for opulence and refinement. The intricate furniture, with its intricate carvings and rich fabrics, adds to the room's allure. The fortifications and fortifications in the background serve as a reminder of the room's historical significance, while the firescreen adds a touch of practicality and functionality. This engraving, published in the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of a royal honeymoon, making it a captivating piece of historical art and interior design.
