EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a moment in time as Queen Alexandra of Britain, the consort of King Edward VII, lovingly cradles one of her beloved Japanese Chin dogs. The image, taken outside, showcases the regal beauty of the Queen in her elegant attire, adorned with a grand hat and a long, flowing veil. Her expression is one of pure joy and affection as she gazes into the eyes of her cherished pet. Queen Alexandra, born Princess Alix of Hesse and by Rhine in 1844, became the Queen Consort of the United Kingdom, the Dominions, and the British Empire upon her marriage to King Edward VII in 1863. She was known for her dedication to various charitable causes, particularly those related to children, and her love for animals was well-documented. The Japanese Chin, a small, non-sporting breed, was a popular choice among the royal families of Europe during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These dogs were believed to have originated in China and were brought to Europe through Japan. Their distinctive features, including their small size, luxurious coats, and distinctive "lion's mane" around their necks, made them a favorite among the aristocracy. This photograph serves as a reminder of the close bond between Queen Alexandra and her beloved Japanese Chin, highlighting the human-animal connection that transcends the boundaries of time and social status. It is a testament to the enduring love and affection that exists between people and their pets, and a glimpse into the rich history of royalty and the animals that shared their lives.
