Summary
[edit]DescriptionMaria Alexandrovna by Edward Lossier (1895).jpg |
English: Marie Alexandrovna, Grand Duchess of Russia, Duchess of Edinburgh (1853-1920)
Lossier’s enamel is based on a much earlier vignette photograph by Jabez Hughes of Ryde, Isle of Wight, dating from around the time of the Duchess’s marriage to Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, in 1874 (2927698), although a stipple engraving by F. Holl after this image gives the date of the photograph as 1873 and the name of the photographer as Bergamasco, St Petersburg (606058). Marie Alexandrovna, Grand Duchess of Russia, second daughter of Alexander II, Emperor of Russia, and Marie, youngest daughter of Louis II, Grand Duke of Hesse, married, in St Petersburg, in 1874, Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, second son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, an unprecedented match between the two Royal Houses. The succession of her husband as Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha in 1893, a trial to him as it curtailed his much-loved naval career, was the culmination of her aspirations: ‘There', according to her daughter, Marie, Queen of Romania, 'she was her own mistress; it was a small kingdom, but her will was undiscussed, she took her orders from no-one and could live as she wished’. Signed at the lower right edge in black paint: Ed. Lossier and signed and dated on the counter-enamel in black paint: Ed. Lossier / Genève / 1895 |
