EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning postcard image captures the regal beauty and elegance of Victoria Eugenia of Battenberg, the Queen of Spain, on the occasion of her marriage to Alfonso XIII in 1887. The young queen, dressed in an intricately designed white gown adorned with lace and frills, wears a magnificent diamond and pearl crown on her head, symbolizing her royal status. The image captures the historical significance of the moment, with Victoria Eugenia becoming the Queen Consort of Spain at the age of just 18. The photograph was taken in the year of their marriage, 1887, and the couple can be seen standing on the platform of a train station, waving to the crowds that had gathered to welcome them. The train, a symbol of modernity and progress, reflects the changing times and the beginning of a new era for the Spanish monarchy. Victoria Eugenia, also known as Ena, was born in 1887 in Darmstadt, Germany, to Prince and Princess Henry of Battenberg. She was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, making her a cousin of King George V of the United Kingdom. Her marriage to Alfonso XIII marked the beginning of a long and tumultuous reign, which saw Spain undergo significant political and social changes. This postcard is a beautiful reminder of a bygone era, when royalty and grandeur ruled the day. The intricate details of Victoria Eugenia's gown and crown, as well as the historic significance of the moment, make this image a must-have for any history or royalty enthusiast. The postcard, with its rich historical context, transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a moment in history that continues to fascinate and inspire.
