PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY.

Mr. Ma all, the most favoured of our photo-
graphers, has once more received the honour of •
royal summons to Windsor Castle, and to-morrow
will publish, through Messrs. Marion, his agent!, •
set of 16 new portrait!, taken from the life by the
Queen's command. These photographs have a spe-
cial interest, connected as they are with the inte-
resting event which assembled all her Majesty's
children around her in March last. The first of
the aeries exhibits the Royal Family gathered
around the bustof the late Prince Consort, the group
being composed of the Queen, the Prince and Princess
of Wales, the Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse,
the Princesses Helena, Lonise, and Beatrice, and
Prince Leopold. The true and simply domestic
feeling which this combination suggests, together
with the perfection of the portraits, make this one
of the most pleasing of royal photographs that has
yet been offered to the public. The second pho-
tograph of the series is a gronp of the Prince
and Princess of Wales, the Prince wearing his
robes of the Order of the Garter, and the Princess
attired in her bridal dress. This is followed by
separate portraits of the Prince of Wales in the
uniform of &General, and the Princess in her bridal
robe and train. The Crown Prince and Princess of
Prussia have been taken together, the Princess sitting
at • writing table and conferring with her husband,
' sr% stands over her. In *separate photograph her
Turd highness is represented standing near a
mirror, in such a manner that one half of the face
is seen directly and the other in the glass. Prince
Louis of Hesse appears in his robes of the Order of
' the Garter, and the Princess wearing a diadem,
'robe, and train. Prince Alfred has been taken in
the uniform of a lieutenant in the navy, and again
in private drew The Princess Helena and Princess
Louise appear separately in evening and together
in morning dress. The young Princess Beatrice
has also a separate portrait. The last of the series
is a group taken at Windsor Castle on the 9th of
March last, the day before the wedding. It
includes the Prince and Princess of Wales ;
the Crown Prince and Princess of Prussia ;
Prince and Princess Christian of Denmark, the
parents of the Princess of Wales ; Prince and Prin-
cess Louis of Hesse, the Princesses Helena and
Louise, Prince William (now King George of
Greece), and Princess Tinnier. Photography was
never more successfully applied to preserve the
memory of • family event than it has been in this
instance. The individual portraits are all that can
be desired, and the grouping is admirable.
