EDITORS COMMENTS
In this beautiful photograph, Princess Victoria Melita of Edinburgh and Prince Ernst Ludwig, Grand Duke of Hesse are seen surrounded by the abundant gifts presented to them on the occasion of their marriage on the 19th of April 1894 in Coburg, Germany. The Princess, who was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria, is seen wearing a stunning diamond brooch, a precious gift from her beloved grandmother. The silver-framed mirror, another exquisite present, came from the officers of the 1st Wiltshire Regiment, adding a touch of elegance to the scene. The center of attention, however, is the magnificent wedding cake, prepared by Messrs. Gunter and co. of Berkeley Square. Towering at five feet, six inches high and weighing approximately 150 lbs, the cake was a true work of art. Its intricate design and meticulous detailing reflect the grandeur and opulence of the royal wedding.
