EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the esteemed Grand Ducal family of Hesse. Taken at Osborne House on the picturesque Isle of Wight, this photograph is a treasured gem from a Royal Family album. The year was approximately 1873, and the image showcases each member of this noble family. At the center stands Grand Duke Louis, later known as Ludwig IV (1837-1892), exuding an air of regality and strength. Beside him is his beloved wife, Grand Duchess Alice (1843-1878), Queen Victoria's third child and second daughter. Their children surround them with youthful energy and innocence. Princess Victoria (1863-1950) stands proudly in front of her father, displaying poise beyond her years. In her father's arms rests Princess Alix (1872-1918), radiating pure joy and affection. Tragically, Prince Friedrich (1870-1873) was taken too soon but remains forever cherished in this poignant portrait held tenderly by his grieving mother. Princess Elisabeth (1864-1918) gracefully stands to her mother's left while Princess Irene (1866-1953) kneels before them with an endearing smile that lights up the frame. Lastly, Prince Ernst (1868-1937) sits confidently at the forefront completing this enchanting tableau. This remarkable snapshot offers us a glimpse into their lives - their love for one another palpable even through time
