EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures a tender moment in the history of the British monarchy, as the Prince and Princess of Wales, later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra of Denmark, are seen cradling their two eldest sons, Prince George, later King George V, and Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, in 1867. The family's joy and love are palpable, as the Prince holds his eldest son, Prince George, in his mother's arms, while his wife tenderly cares for their eldest son, Prince Albert Victor, who is dressed in a girlish off-the-shoulder dress due to his delicate health. At the time of this photograph, the family was unaware of the trials that lay ahead. Just a few years later, the world would be hit by the devastating influenza pandemic of 1889-1892. Prince Albert Victor, who was already suffering from respiratory issues, fell ill and developed pneumonia. Despite the best efforts of the medical professionals of the time, the young prince tragically passed away on January 14, 1892, at the age of 28. The image of the Prince and Princess of Wales with their two eldest sons serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment with loved ones. The boys' girlish attire, a common fashion trend for boys during this period, adds an unexpected element to the photograph, making it all the more intriguing and memorable." This photograph is a historical treasure from the Illustrated London News Ltd/Mary Evans collection and offers a unique glimpse into the personal lives of the British royal family during the late 19th century.
