EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph, Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom and her sister, Empress Marie Feodorovna of Russia, are seen leaving Victoria Station in Central London following the death of their mutual brother-in-law, King Edward VII, in May 1910. The two sisters, dressed in deep mourning attire, sit elegantly in an open carriage, their somber expressions reflecting the solemnity of the occasion. Queen Alexandra, born Princess Alexandra of Denmark, is resplendent in a long, flowing black gown adorned with intricate lace and beading, a traditional choice for mourning wear during the Edwardian era. Her sister, Marie Feodorovna, formerly Princess Dagmar of Denmark, wears a similar yet simpler black dress, accessorized with a lace shawl and a large black hat. The sisters' departure from Victoria Station marks the beginning of their journey to Windsor Castle, where they will join the royal family to pay their respects to the late king. The image captures the sense of unity and support between the two sisters during this difficult time, as they come together to mourn the loss of their beloved brother-in-law and monarch. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the close relationship between the British and Russian royal families during the early 20th century, as well as the fashion and mourning customs of the Edwardian era. The sisters' elegant attire and solemn expressions serve as a testament to the deep sense of loss and respect felt by the royal families and the people of both nations. This photograph, taken in 1910, is a significant historical image that captures a moment of mourning and unity between two powerful European monarchies. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape the world today.
