EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the breathtaking view from the terrace of the historic Hotel Prinz Carl in Heidelberg, Germany, as it appeared in the early 1900s. The view is a picturesque tableau of architectural grandeur and natural beauty, with the terracotta-roofed buildings of Heidelberg's Old Town cascading down the hillside, framed by the towering silhouette of Heidelberg Castle. At the center of the scene, a statue graces the plinth, its outstretched arms seemingly beckoning to the lush green grass below. This view holds a special place in history, as it was from this very spot that the future King Edward VII of the United Kingdom and Queen Alexandra of Denmark became engaged in 1862. The young couple, who met during a visit to Heidelberg, fell deeply in love and pledged their lives to each other amidst the romantic surroundings of the Old Town and the castle ruins. The photograph captures the essence of the Edwardian era, with its elegant buildings, manicured gardens, and sense of refined leisure. The scene is a testament to the enduring allure of Heidelberg and its role as a romantic destination for travelers from around the world.
