EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a moment in time from the rich history of the British monarchy, featuring the young Royal Children of Hesse-Darmstadt: Princess Alice (1878-1901), Prince Edward (1841-1910), and their elder sister, Princess Victoria, Princess Royal (1840-1901). The scene takes place in the early 1870s, with the siblings being transported through a lush garden in a unique and elegant goat-drawn chaise. Princess Alice, the youngest of the three, is shown as a cherubic baby, bundled up in warm clothing and gazing curiously at the world around her. Her elder siblings, Victoria and Edward, look on with amusement and affection, their expressions hinting at the close bond they shared. The children are accompanied by footmen, dressed in formal attire and holding onto the chaise, ensuring their safe journey. The goat-drawn chaise, a popular mode of transportation for the aristocracy during this era, adds an air of elegance and luxury to the scene. The siblings' attire, adorned with ermine trim, further emphasizes their royal status. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of these young royals, providing a window into their childhood and the opulence of their world. The image, taken around 1878, stands as a testament to the rich history of the British monarchy and the lives of its members. The elder sister, Princess Victoria, would go on to become the Empress of Germany, while her brother, Prince Edward, would become King Edward VII of England. Princess Alice tragically passed away at the young age of 25 due to pneumonia, leaving behind a legacy as a beloved member of the royal family.
