EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the charming bungalow of Queen Alexandra, located in the quaint village of Snettisham, Norfolk, in the year 1912. The image offers a rare glimpse into the private life of the Queen Consort, who was the wife of King Edward VII and the mother of King George V. The bungalow, which served as a beloved retreat for Queen Alexandra, was situated near the Sandringham Estate, the royal family's country residence. The serene setting of the photograph, with its lush greenery and picturesque surroundings, underscores the tranquility and peace that the Queen found in this humble abode. Queen Alexandra, a Danish princess, was known for her charitable works and her dedication to various causes. She brought a sense of warmth and compassion to the British monarchy, and her bungalow at Snettisham was a reflection of her simple and down-to-earth nature. The bungalow's design was in keeping with the Arts and Crafts movement, which emphasized the importance of craftsmanship and the use of natural materials. The exterior of the bungalow is adorned with ivy, giving it a rustic and earthy appearance, while the interior is believed to have featured comfortable and cozy furnishings. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of the British monarchy and the personal life of a beloved Queen. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Norfolk and the enduring allure of the English countryside.
