Book Description
Excerpt from The Life and Times of Queen Adelaide This book, like all other undertakings, has suffered from the Great Upset, as it has been called, of the War. By the kind permission of the authorities of saxe-meiningen, photographs of portraits of Queen Adelaide's parents, and of herself as child, young lady, and bride, were to have graced these pages. However, the war broke out just as, preliminaries having been arranged, the Court photographer was about to execute his task in the Castle of saxe-meiningen, and very naturally I have never received the photo graphs.
