EDITORS COMMENTS
This front cover engraving commemorates the marriage of Prince Charles of Denmark, later King Haakon VII of Norway, and Princess Maud of Wales, the youngest daughter of King Edward VII, in July 1896. The royal couple's union brought together the Danish and British monarchies, symbolizing a deep historical connection between the two nations. Prince Charles, born on August 3, 1870, in Copenhagen, Denmark, was the eldest son of Prince Frederick of Denmark and Princess Louise of Schleswig-Holstein. Princess Maud, born on November 26, 1869, in Windsor Castle, England, was the youngest daughter of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. Their marriage took place at the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace, London, in a grand ceremony attended by members of the British and Danish royal families, as well as high-ranking dignitaries and nobility. The enchanting image, captured by the renowned photographers W. and D. Downey, showcases the newlywed couple in their regal attire, exuding confidence and love. The engraving, published in 1896, was likely part of an illustrated newspaper or magazine, providing a visual record of this significant royal event for the public. Prince Charles's ascension to the Norwegian throne in 1906, following the death of King Oscar II, brought him and Princess Maud to Norway, where they ruled until his passing in 1957. Their marriage proved to be a strong foundation for the Norwegian monarchy, as they navigated the challenges of the 20th century, including World War II. This historical engraving is a testament to the rich tapestry of royal history, highlighting the lives of two remarkable individuals and their enduring bond. It serves as a reminder of the deep connections between the Danish and British monarchies and the significant role they have played in shaping the course of history.
