The Duke of Connaught and his Shooting Party, 1908
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph captured by Queen Alexandra herself, we are transported back to the early 20th century in Britain. The Duke of Connaught, a distinguished figure with his flat cap and rifle in hand, stands proudly at the center of the image. Surrounding him are esteemed individuals such as Count Benckendorff, the Russian Ambassador, Sir Maurice de Bunsen, Sir Charles Hardinge, and Prince Arthur of Connaught. The setting is a picturesque thicket within a woodland landscape where nature's beauty intertwines with political power. With towering trees serving as their backdrop, these men engage in an activity that combines leisure and camaraderie - shooting game birds. This portrait not only captures a moment frozen in time but also reflects the royal family's connection to both country pursuits and international diplomacy. It showcases how even amidst political responsibilities and warfare concerns (as indicated by their headdresses), these statesmen find solace in nature's embrace. Published by The Daily Telegraph as part of Queen Alexandra's Christmas Gift Book: Photographs from My Camera collection, this print serves as a testament to her artistic talent while offering glimpses into the lives of British royalty during that era. As we admire this historical snapshot today, let us appreciate its significance beyond mere aesthetics – it symbolizes tradition, power dynamics between nations represented through diplomatic ties forged on shared interests like hunting parties – all encapsulated within one frame.
