1850 Arthur Baptised Baptism Connaught
EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful photograph captures the moment of Prince Arthur, the eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, being christened in 1850. The future Duke of Connaught is seen lying in a cradle, dressed in a white baptismal gown, surrounded by members of the royal family and clergy. Queen Victoria, looking radiant in a flowing white gown and wearing a diamond diadem, holds her son in her arms as she leans over the font. Prince Albert stands behind her, supporting her and looking down at their son with pride. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Frederick Temple, officiates the ceremony, while other dignitaries and courtiers look on. This historic moment marked the beginning of Prince Arthur's journey into the world of royal duties and responsibilities. The photograph, taken in the grand surroundings of St. James's Palace, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Victorian era's royal court. The image is a testament to the deep love and devotion of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert towards their son, and the importance of religious customs and traditions in the lives of the British monarchy.
