EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable piece of history, a medal commemorating the marriage of the Duke of Connaught and Princess Louise of Prussia in 1879. Crafted by Alfred Wyon and Joseph Shephard Wyon, this exquisite medallion measures 6.4 cm in diameter and is part of the Timothy Millett Collection. The Duke of Connaught, Arthur William Albert (1850-1942), married Princess Louise Alexandra Margaret (1860-1917) from Prussia, creating an alliance between two prominent royal families. This union was celebrated with great pomp and ceremony, as depicted on the reverse side of the medal. The intricate design showcases various elements symbolizing their union: shields representing heraldry and coat-of-arms denoting their noble lineage; crowns signifying royalty; and quatrefoils adding a touch of German influence to honor Princess Louise's heritage. As a commemorative coin, this medallion serves as a tangible reminder of the joyous occasion that brought together British and German traditions. Its craftsmanship reflects the Victorian era's attention to detail and love for grandeur. Preserved through time, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical significance. It stands as a testament to enduring love stories that transcend borders and unite nations through matrimonial bonds.
