EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the Illustrated London News, dated 1862, showcases a collection of exquisite wedding presents bestowed upon Her Royal Highness Princess Alice, later known as Grand Duchess Alice Maud Mary of Hesse and by Rhine. The image highlights several thoughtfully crafted gifts, each reflecting the unique cultural and artistic influences of their respective donors. At the center, a prayer book and an ornate casket are presented by the Matrons of England. Adjacent to it, a Bible and another casket are offered by the Maidens of England. A jewelled fan, a gift from the Maharajah Dhuleep Singh of Hindoostan, adds a touch of Eastern elegance to the assemblage. The Duchess of Athole graciously presented a paper-weight, while a jewel casket was the generous offering of the Countess of Fife. The gifts are a testament to the grandeur and diversity of the 19th century, showcasing an array of materials such as ebony, ivory, gilt silver, and gold. The intricate carvings, engravings, and gilding on each item reveal the exceptional craftsmanship of the time. The animal motifs, particularly the deer, are a common theme, adding to the overall charm and beauty of these precious keepsakes. The photograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of the royal wedding and the various cultural influences that shaped the art and handicrafts of the era. It is a poignant reminder of the significant role that gifts play in celebrating the joyous occasion of a royal marriage.
