EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Prince Christian Victor Albert Louis Ernst Anton of Schleswig-Holstein, a grandson of Queen Victoria, in his military uniform. Born in 1870, Prince Christian served his country with distinction, participating in several significant campaigns throughout India, West Africa, South Africa, and the Sudan. His unwavering dedication to duty and courage earned him a prominent place in British military history. The image, an engraving after a photograph, captures the young prince in his prime, donning a pith helmet and military attire. The intricate details of his uniform, from the crisp lines of his jacket to the polished boots, speak volumes of the meticulous attention to detail that characterized the British military during this period. Prince Christian's life was cut tragically short when he succumbed to enteric fever at the age of 33. His passing was deeply felt by the British people, who mourned the loss of a valiant soldier and a member of the royal family. This evocative print is taken from Cassell's History of England, Vol. IX, published by Cassell and Company, Limited, in London, Paris, New York, and Melbourne during the early 20th century. The image, a testament to the fashion and military history of the time, continues to captivate viewers with its timeless appeal and historical significance.
