EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the poignant moment when the Duc de Nemours, Louis Charles Philippe Raphael d'Orleans, the second son of King Louis Philippe of France, is united in marriage with his bride, Victoire de Saxe-Coburg, in the year 1851. The Duc, born in 1814, was a scion of the illustrious House of Bourbon, and his union with the Austrian princess marked a significant diplomatic alliance between the two European powers. The couple's wedding took place amidst the political turmoil of the Second French Empire, a time when the monarchy was in decline and the Duc's father was in exile in England. Despite the challenges, the Duc and Victoire's love for each other shines through in this image, captured by a skilled photographer of the era. The newlyweds exchange tender glances, their eyes filled with affection and hope for the future. Tragically, their happiness was short-lived. Victoire passed away in 1857, while the couple was in exile in England. The loss deeply affected the Duc, who went on to dedicate the rest of his life to the memory of his beloved wife. This poignant photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their brief but passionate love story, set against the backdrop of a tumultuous historical period. The photograph, which dates from the mid-19th century, is a testament to the enduring power of love and the human spirit, even in the face of adversity. It is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the personal lives of two individuals who played a significant role in European history.
