Ludwig IV of Hesse-Darmstadt: A Royal Love Story Unfolds on the Isle of Wight (1862) Amidst the picturesque landscapes of the Isle of Wight, a romantic tale of royalty unfolds. In Darmstadt, a view from an unknown artist captures the charm of the city, while the lodge by the sea at St. Clare serves as a temporary abode for Their Royal Highnesses, Prince Louis of Hesse-Darmstadt and Princess Alice. Their union is celebrated with a grand wedding at St. Clare, surrounded by the beauty of the Conservatory and the delight of numerous wedding presents. The Louisen Platz adds to the enchantment, as the newlyweds depart from Osborne in the Victoria and Albert, leaving behind a trail of memories. Sketches and illustrations by various artists of the era offer a glimpse into this fairytale moment in history.
