EDITORS COMMENTS
The Royal Family of Denmark, led by Queen Louise of Hesse-Kassel and King Christian IX, is captured in this stunning 19th-century engraving. Known as 'the handsome father of Europe, ' King Christian IX solidified his family's connections to the great royal families through strategic marriages. In this image, he sits at the center surrounded by his children during the joyous celebration of his daughter's silver wedding with the Tsar of Russia. Behind him stands Princess Mary of Orleans and her groom Prince Valdemar, while on the right side sits Albert Edward Prince of Wales alongside his wife Alexandra of Denmark and their son Prince Albert Victor. To the left, we see Empress Princess Dagmar of Denmark beside Emperor Alexander III of Russia. Also present are Royal Prince Frederik and his wife Princess Lovisa of Sweden, followed by King George I of Greece and his wife Olga Constantinovna along with their daughter Princess Mary. This print from 'Le petit journal' captures a momentous occasion for both Danish royalty and European history. The composition showcases elegance and regality as each member exudes grace and poise befitting their noble status. Preserved in a private collection today, this engraving serves as a testament to the interconnectedness between European monarchies during an era defined by alliances through marriage.
