You are bidding on a huge original antique print from an 1870s illustrated journal.

 

It depicts the wedding of Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia (Louise Margaret Alexandra Victoria Agnes; later Duchess of Connaught and Strathearn; 25 July 1860 – 14 March 1917) with Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn. She served as the Viceregal Consort of Canada, when her husband served as the Governor General of Canada from 1911 to 1916. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and Queens Margrethe II of Denmark and Anne-Marie of Greece are among her great-grandchildren.


The caption reads: The Marriage of the Duke of Connaught and Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia at Windsor.

Other royalty in attendence are identified, including Queen Victoria, Princess Beatrice, Prince of Wales, Duke of Edinborgh, Princess of Wales and children, Crown Prince of Prussia, Prince Albert Victor of Wales, the Queen's pages, Prince Frederich, Charles of Prussia, Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, and King of the Belgians.

The print has a fold in the middle, where it was folded into the magazine long ago. Note that the fold line is clean and undamaged, because it was "tipped" into the binding. This was a luxury binding technique of that era, because the double page prints were free of binding holes down the center.

The page is in excellent condition for its age. See scan for an accurate view of the condition.

This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
