EDITORS COMMENTS
In this beautiful oval photograph, Princess Marie of Russia, also known as Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia, is depicted in her resplendent wedding attire as she stands before her husband, Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh. The Princess, born in 1853, was the eldest daughter of Tsar Alexander II of Russia and Empress Maria Feodorovna. Her marriage to the Duke of Edinburgh, the second son of Queen Victoria, took place on January 27, 1874, at the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia. The Princess's elegant wedding gown, featuring a high collar and long sleeves, is adorned with intricate lace and pearls, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the Victorian era. Her hair is styled in an elaborate updo, adorned with a diadem and a veil that cascades down her back. The Duke of Edinburgh, dressed in his military uniform, gazes at his bride with a tender expression, his hand gently resting on her waist. The marriage between Marie and Alfred was significant as it strengthened the close relationship between the Russian and British royal families. The couple had five children together, including Prince George, who later became King George V of the United Kingdom. The photograph captures a moment of pure joy and love, as the newlyweds begin their life together as husband and wife. This stunning photograph, taken in the 1870s, is a testament to the beauty and elegance of the Victorian era and the powerful bond between two royal families. It is a precious piece of history that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
