EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in time - the meeting of the Russian and British royal families at Balmoral, Scotland on September 29th, 1896. The artist behind this remarkable piece is W&D Downey, known for their exceptional talent in capturing the essence of individuals through portraiture. In this image, we see an array of prominent figures from both nations. Standing tall are Empress Alix and Grand Duchess Olga representing Russia, alongside Emperor Nicholas II himself. On the British side stands Queen Victoria and her son, the Prince of Wales (later known as King Edward VII). Their regal attire reflects the fashion trends of the late 19th century. The photograph beautifully showcases three generations within each family - from great-grandmother to great-granddaughter. It highlights not only their familial bonds but also their roles as leaders within their respective monarchies. The composition exudes a sense of formality with everyone posing gracefully in a room adorned with elegant furnishings. Each individual's presence adds depth to this historical tableau; from babies cradled by mothers to young girls sitting beside proud fathers. This print serves as a visual testament to an era when royalty held significant influence over politics and society alike. It offers us a glimpse into a bygone world where tradition and lineage were cherished values.
