Carte-de-visite full length photograph of Feodora of Saxe Meiningen. She is shown in profile, facing towards the right of the image.

She is wearing a dark coloured tiered silk dress, trimmed with lace.
Princess Feodora was Queen Victoria’s niece, the youngest child of the Queen’s half-sister, also Feodora. She was her mother’s favourite child who described her as ‘a fine girl, immensely tall’. In 1858 she married George II, Duke of Saxe Meiningen, as his second wife.Provenance
