EDITORS COMMENTS
In this stunning photograph, Princess Elisabeth of Hesse, born on December 14, 1895, is seen wearing an elaborate coat and bonnet that epitomize the opulence and elegance of the late 19th century European royalty. The Princess, who was the eldest child of Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig of Hesse and Princess Victoria Melita of Edinburgh and Saxe-Coburg, is captured in her youthful beauty and grace. The coat, adorned with intricate beadwork and embroidery, is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. The bonnet, with its tall, ornate design and delicate veil, adds an air of sophistication and formality to the Princess's attire. The photograph, taken in 1896, captures a moment in time when the young Princess was just beginning to make her mark in the world of royalty. Ernst Ludwig, the Duke of Hesse and by Rhine, was the third son of Grand Duke Louis IV of Hesse and Princess Alice of the United Kingdom. He married Princess Victoria Melita of Edinburgh and Saxe-Coburg in 1894, following the dissolution of her first marriage to Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich of Russia. The union between Ernst Ludwig and Victoria Melita was controversial due to the fact that they were both previously married, but it produced four children, including Princess Elisabeth. The photograph is a precious reminder of the rich history and traditions of the European monarchy during the late 19th century. The intricate details of the Princess's attire, the elegant pose, and the regal setting all contribute to a captivating image that transports us back in time. Princess Elisabeth, with her youthful beauty and regal bearing, embodies the grace and poise of a princess of Hesse in the late 1800s.
