EDITORS COMMENTS
Elisabeth of Wied, Queen of Romania, also known by her pen name Carmen Sylva, is depicted in this photograph as she gracefully plays the organ. Born in 1843 in Waldeck and Pyrmont, Germany, Elisabeth became Queen Consort of Romania in 1869 upon her marriage to King Carol I. Her love for music was well-known, and she was an accomplished pianist, singer, and organist. The image captures the Queen in profile, her profile adorned with a crown and pearls, as she delicately touches the keys of the grand organ. The intricate details of the organ pipes can be seen in the background, adding to the regal and musical atmosphere of the scene. The photograph, taken in the late 19th century, is a testament to the Eastern European royalty's appreciation for the arts and their refined elegance. Elisabeth, who was also an accomplished writer, used the pen name Carmen Sylva for her literary works. Her writing focused on social issues and the education of women, reflecting her progressive views and dedication to improving the lives of her people. This photograph, therefore, not only showcases her musical talents but also highlights her multifaceted personality and her many contributions to Romanian culture and society. The image is a beautiful representation of the Queen's passion for music and her commitment to her role as a Queen and a writer, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs of European royalty.
