EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite photograph captures Helena Augusta Victoria, the third daughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, in a formal portrait taken by the renowned Victorian photographer, Bassano. The image dates back to 1846, when Helena was just a young girl, full of life and innocence. Dressed in a dark, elegant gown adorned with intricate lace detailing, Helena exudes an air of regality and sophistication. Her pearl earring adds a touch of elegance to her attire, complementing her delicate bonnet. Helena Augusta Victoria was born on May 25, 1846, at Buckingham Palace in London. She was the third child and second daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Her upbringing was marked by strict discipline and rigorous education, reflecting the values of the Victorian era. As she grew older, Helena became known for her intelligence, kindness, and strong sense of duty. She married Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein in 1866, and the couple had seven children together. Helena's life was marked by tragedy, as several of her children died young, and her husband passed away in 1917. She continued to serve as a patron of various charities and organizations, and was a devoted grandmother to her surviving grandchildren. Helena Augusta Victoria passed away on June 23, 1923, at the age of 77. This photograph, taken over 75 years prior, captures a moment in time when she was still a young, vibrant member of the British royal family. The intricate detailing of her clothing and the delicate lace on her bonnet are a testament to the elegance and refinement of the Victorian era, making this image a precious piece of history.
