EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a tender moment between Prince Albert, the beloved consort of Queen Victoria, and his cherished greyhound, Eos. The image, taken between the years 1819 and 1861, showcases the prince in a formal attire, donning a crisp cravat, as he lovingly holds the elegant greyhound in his arms. The sadness etched on Albert's face speaks volumes about the deep bond they shared, as Eos was a faithful companion to him since his early years. The news of Eos' passing on July 31, 1844, was met with great sorrow among the royal family and the public. The prince was devastated by the loss of his beloved pet, and Queen Victoria was reportedly inconsolable. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their unbreakable bond and the profound impact animals can have on our lives. Prince Albert was known for his love of animals, particularly dogs. He was an avid hunter and breeder, and his menagerie included a variety of animals, including horses, deer, and exotic birds. However, it was his greyhounds that held a special place in his heart. Eos was one of his most cherished companions, and this photograph stands as a testament to their enduring friendship. The image, preserved in the annals of history, continues to captivate and inspire us with its portrayal of love, loss, and the unbreakable bond between a man and his faithful companion.
