EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the life of Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh (1844-1901), as he bids farewell to his beloved wife, Duchess Marie Alexandrovna of Russia (1847-1880), daughter of Tsar Alexander II, before setting sail on naval duties as Admiral of the British Fleet. The image, taken in the late 19th century, portrays the Duke deep in thought, gazing through a telescope at the horizon, while Marie Alexandrovna, dressed in an elegant gown and holding a map, looks on with a mixture of sadness and pride. The Duke's cuffs adorned with the insignia of his rank add to the regal atmosphere of the scene. The union between the Duke and Duchess, a political marriage arranged between Britain and Russia, was known for its deep affection and devotion. This poignant image serves as a testament to their enduring love and the Duke's commitment to his duties as a naval leader.
