Item Details
Description
Framed original The Marriage of Princess Louise and the Marquis of Lore in St George's Chapel, Windsor, a two page supplement from the Illustrated London News in 1871. They were engaged in 1870 to the sorrow of Queen Victoria for the "thought of losing her" daughter, and to the surprise of her family. However, Queen Victoria, in a letter to her in-law, Queen Augusta of Prussia, said that poor German princelings were highly unpopular in Britain. Lord Lorne, meanwhile, was the heir not just to his father's title, but also to his vast estates, making him "really no lower in rank than minor German Royalty." In 1878, Lord Lorne was appointed Governor-General of Canada and so the couple sailed for Ottawa, where they proved to be very popular among the Canadians. In Frame 27.25x22x1". Weight is 8 pds. PROVENANCE: A Washington DC / Charleston SC Private Estate.
