EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, Princesses Victoria and Elisabeth of Hesse, the elder daughters of Princess Alice, Grand Duchess of Hesse and Grand Duke Ludwig (Louis) of Hesse, are captured in traditional Hessian peasant attire. On the left, Princess Victoria, born in 1863, later became Princess Louis of Battenberg. She is the grandmother of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, making her an important figure in British royal history. The image on the right is of Princess Elisabeth, born in 1864, who later became Grand Princess Elizaveta Feodorovna of Russia. The sisters' simple yet elegant outfits reflect the Hessian peasant tradition, adding a touch of authenticity to the photograph. Princess Victoria wears a long, dark skirt, a white blouse, and a red apron, while Princess Elisabeth dons a similar outfit in a lighter color palette. Their natural smiles and relaxed postures convey a sense of joy and playfulness, making this image a delightful glimpse into the past. Princess Alice, their mother, was the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. She married Grand Duke Ludwig of Hesse in 1851 and had seven children. The family was known for its close ties to the British and Russian royal families, with Victoria's marriage to Prince Louis of Battenberg leading to her becoming a British subject, and Elisabeth's marriage to Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich of Russia. This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, is a testament to the rich history and cultural connections of the Hesse family. It offers a unique perspective on the lives of these princesses before they assumed their royal titles and played significant roles in European history.
