EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting early 20th century photograph captures Queen Alexandra, consort to King Edward VII of the United Kingdom, in a tender moment with her beloved pet dog. The image, which exudes the elegance and refinement of the Edwardian era, finds the monarch seated in a plush armchair, dressed in an ornate gown and a magnificent hat adorned with feathers and pearls. Her cherished pet, a small, fluffy Pomeranian, rests comfortably on her lap, gazing up at her with unwavering devotion. Queen Alexandra, born Princess Alix of Hesse and by Rhine in 1844, was a German princess who married Prince Albert Edward, the Prince of Wales, in 1863. She became Queen Consort upon her husband's accession to the throne in 1901. Throughout her long and eventful life, she was known for her charitable works, her love for animals, and her strong bond with her pets. The Queen's fondness for dogs was well-documented, and she was often seen with her canine companions in public. Her favorite Pomeranian, which accompanied her in this photograph, was just one of many dogs she owned during her reign. The affectionate relationship between the monarch and her faithful pet is beautifully captured in this image, offering a glimpse into the personal side of a much-loved and admired figure in British history.
