Here is a vintage Russian CDV of the Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna, She was the only daughter of Tsar Alexander II. She married Queen Victoria’s son Prince Alfred and assumed the title Duchess of Edinburgh. Queen Victoria openly envied Maria’s stunning jewelry collection. This a Bergamasco photo. It is 2 1/2″ X 4″. It is in good condition with maybe some yellowing with age. Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna was born on 17 October 1853 as the daughter of Emperor Alexander II of Russia and his first wife, Empress Maria Alexandrovna of Russia, who was known as Princess Marie of Hesse and by Rhine. She was one of eight siblings, though her eldest sister Alexandra did not survive to adulthood. In 1868 – while visiting family – Maria met Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, who was Queen Victoria’s second son who was visiting his sister Princess Alice. On 11 July 1873, Alfred officially asked for Maria’s hand in marriage, and she accepted his proposal. He sent a telegram to Queen Victoria, “Marie and I were engaged this morning. Cannot say how happy I am. Hope your blessing rests on us.” Alexander wasn’t about to just let his daughter go. He granted her the grand sum of £100,000 as a dowry, plus an annual allowance of £32,000. She also received some very fine jewelry , including items that had belonged to Catherine the Great. As a wedding present, he had a complete parure of diamonds and rubies made for her. He also made Alfred an honorary chief of a Russian Guards regiment and named a Russian battleship after him.
