EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare and intimate moment in the lives of royalty. Alexandra of Denmark, consort to Edward VII, is seen here in Copenhagen engaging in a quiet rubber card game with her two sisters, Maria Feodorovna and Princess Thyra of Denmark, as well as their father Christian IX, King of Denmark. The year is 1903.
The image exudes a sense of familial closeness and camaraderie as the royal family members bond over a friendly game. Alexandra's serene expression hints at her enjoyment of this simple yet meaningful pastime with her loved ones.
Maria Feodorovna, also known as Dagmar, was a Russian princess who later became the Dowager Empress of Russia. Princess Thyra was Alexandra's younger sister who married into Danish nobility. Together with their father Christian IX, they formed a tight-knit family unit that valued moments like these spent together.
In an era marked by formality and protocol, this candid snapshot offers us a glimpse into the private world of these prominent figures. It serves as a reminder that even those born into positions of power and privilege find joy in the simple pleasures shared among family members.
