EDITORS COMMENTS
great photograph captures a memorable moment from a Royal Shooting Party held around 1907. The gathering brought together some of the most prominent figures of the European aristocracy and royalty. At the heart of the image is Queen Alexandra, the Queen Consort of King Edward VII, who is seen in the center, dressed in a stylish hunting outfit. She is surrounded by an esteemed group of individuals, including her son, Prince Arthur of Connaught, who served as the Governor-General of South Africa and is seen on her right. On her left is Augusta Victoria, Empress of Germany and Queen of Prussia, the consort of Wilhelm II, Emperor of Germany and King of Prussia. The photograph also features several other notable figures, such as Captain Campbell, Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, Alice Maud Olivia Stanley, Countess of Derby, Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Alexandra, and Lady-in-Waiting to Augusta Victoria, Countess von Keller, Maud Evelyn Petty-Fitzmaurice, Marchioness of Lansdowne, Sir Harry Charles Legge, Army officer and royal courtier, Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, Duchess of Argyll, and Adolf, Baron Marschall von Bieberstein, a German diplomat. Two other monarchs are also present in the photograph, King George V and Emperor Wilhelm II, who are seen standing towards the back of the image. The future King George V, who would succeed his father, King Edward VII, in 1910, is seen on the left, while Emperor Wilhelm II is on the right. The photograph is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, showcasing the opulence and grandeur of the European aristocracy and royalty during the early 20th century. It is a testament to the complex web of relationships and alliances that existed between the various European monarchies and nobility during this time.
