EDITORS COMMENTS
Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia (1853-1920) in her wedding attire, following her marriage to Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh in January 1874. The grand occasion took place at the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia, despite Queen Victoria's reservations about a union between the British and Russian royal families following the Crimean War. Maria, the only daughter of Tsar Alexander II, was a frequent visitor to Princess Alice's home at Darmstadt, where she was introduced to Alfred. Hailing from the Imperial Russian royal family, known for their luxurious lifestyle and extravagant displays of wealth, the Duchess was met with skepticism and unpopularity from London society who considered her haughty. This elegant print captures the grandeur of the occasion, with Maria adorned in her bridal finery, surrounded by an intricately designed floral border. The decorative frame adds to the regal and opulent feel of the image, transporting us back in time to this historic moment in royal history.
