1882 Albany Bouquet Bryan Compartment Duchess Entracte Helena Honeymoon Leopold Married Pyrmont Waldeck Youngest
EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful caricature captures the playful spirit of Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, and his new bride, Princess Helena of Waldeck and Pyrmont, during their honeymoon journey in the late 1880s. The young couple, both full of excitement and anticipation, are depicted in a railway compartment, surrounded by an abundance of flowers and a bouquet held by the princess. Prince Leopold, the youngest son of Queen Victoria, and Princess Helena, a German princess, had married on April 27, 1882, and this caricature likely represents an interlude during their travels as man and wife. The artist, Terry Parker, masterfully captures the essence of their joyful union, as well as the fashionable attire and transport of the era. The train, a symbol of progress and modernity, adds to the sense of adventure and new beginnings for the newlywed couple. This charming caricature offers a glimpse into the lighter side of royal life during the Victorian era and serves as a testament to the enduring bond between Prince Leopold and Princess Helena.
