| Princess Louise April, 1867 Crown Copyright The Royal Collection Image Courtesy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II |
The
photography firm of Hills & Saunders is credited with the creation of this April,
1867 image of Princess Louise (1848-1939, the sixth child and fourth daughter
of Queen Victoria & Prince Albert).
However, the attribution is not entirely certain and the image could
well be the work of another photographer mimicking Hills & Saunders.
This almost full-length photo shows Princess Louise standing (in near profile), looking down at a terrier. She holds his front legs, supporting him as he stands on a chair on his hind legs. Dogs don’t really like to do this. But, she’s a princess, and I suppose he had no choice. Besides, he looks quite content.

The
Princess wears a long-sleeved dress in quintessential 1860s style. Her throat is adorned with a jeweled slide
(or cross) on a ribbon and handsome jewels hang from her ears.
This
is one of a series of photos taken at the same time.
