EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant image from 1875, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, later known as Prince Alfred and Grand Duchess Marie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, are seen admiring the exquisite wedding gifts presented to them by the Corporation of the City of London. The Duke, dressed in military attire, and the Duchess, resplendent in a beautiful white gown and veil, stand before a grand table setting adorned with an impressive array of gifts. At the center of the table, two magnificent candelabras, presented by the Corporation, gracefully frame a stunning floral arrangement. The candelabras, with their intricate designs and ornate detailing, are a testament to the craftsmanship and wealth of the City of London. The table setting is further adorned with an assortment of fine china, crystal, and silverware, all presented as wedding gifts to the newlyweds. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh's wedding took place on January 23, 1874, and their union brought together the British and German royal families. The wedding was a grand affair, attended by members of the British and European nobility, and was celebrated with numerous gifts from various individuals and organizations. The Corporation of the City of London, as a symbol of its esteem and goodwill, presented the Duke and Duchess with these magnificent candelabras as a wedding gift. The presentation of these gifts marked the beginning of a long and enduring relationship between the Royal Family and the City of London, which continues to this day. This photograph, taken in 1875, captures a moment in history, as the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh graciously receive the gifts from the Corporation of the City of London, surrounded by the opulence and grandeur of their wedding setting.
