EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical engraving captures a moment in time when Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, and his wife the Duchess of Edinburgh (formerly Maria Alexandrovna, Grand Princess of Russia) visited the Seamens Childrens Nursery at Wellclose Square in the London Docks. The image dates back to July 4th, 1874, showcasing the royal couple's compassion for children in need.
Prince Alfred, born in 1844 and passing away in 1900, was known for his naval career and philanthropic efforts. His wife Maria Alexandrovna brought her Russian heritage to their union, adding richness to their public appearances together.
In this scene from over a century ago, we see the Duke and Duchess interacting with young beneficiaries of the nursery's services. Their presence undoubtedly brought joy and hope to these children who may have been facing difficult circumstances.
The intricate details captured in this engraving transport us back to a bygone era where royalty took an active role in charitable endeavors. It serves as a reminder that even those born into privilege can use their status for good causes.
This print is not just a piece of history but also a testament to kindness and empathy displayed by individuals who held positions of power.
