The Creation of the Princess Delphine of Saxe-Coburg Fund

 

On Thursday, 10 December, the establishment of the Fonds Prinses Delphine van Saksen-Coburg was unveiled at University Hospital Ghent. The fund will seek to promote the integration of the arts into healthcare. Princess Delphine of Belgium is the honorary chairman of the charity. The princess will endeavour to help raise awareness of the fund's missions as well as to assist with fundraising.

Princess Delphine of Belgium and Dr. Tessa Kerre.

At the announcement of the fund's inception, Dr. Tessa Kerre stated: "We are very pleased, proud, and happy that the princess was willing to give her name to the fund. She fits perfectly within the theme. Princess Delphine is an artist for whom communication and love are very important. She stands for warmth and human contact. She also says that art has a therapeutic effect. So, she is the right person in the right place. She depicts the message we want to convey in her art." Dr. Kerre is a hematologist and the head of the clinic at Ghent University Hospital. Dr. Kerre further elaborated that, "We set up the fund because we are convinced that art can have a healing effect. In a hospital, we try to make people better. And in general, we do that by treating the disease, but we must not forget that there is a human being behind the disease. Art can play a role in the healing process. The bond between the patient and the care provider can be strengthened through art and culture. When you, as a doctor, visit a patient who is reading a book, it can be nice to talk about it. Some people also make drawings or paintings during their stay. Everyone is looking for a way to fill up their time in the hospital. By talking about art together you can make a connection through a passion and talk about something other than the disease."

A Poet Among the Romanovs: Prince Vladimir Paley 1897-1918

Prince Vladimir Paley, first cousin of the last tsar, was a poet among the Romanovs. The rules of the Imperial Family prevented him from being considered a member of the dynasty due to the unequal Prince Vladimir Paley, first cousin of the last tsar, was a poet among the Romanovs. The rules of the Imperial Family prevented him from being considered a member of the dynasty due to the unequal marriage of his parents. This circumstance could have saved his life. Instead, when he was requested by the Bolsheviks to denounce his father, Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich of Russia, young Prince Vladimir chose love, loyalty, honor, and affection. His only crime was being related to a dynasty of which he had not even been an official member. This is the compelling story of a young man, and a talented poet, who in different circumstances would have attained great heights. Destiny, however, played a sad role in bringing a brutal and early death to a promising life ... 

Jorge F. Sáenz brings to life the previously unknown figure of Prince Vladimir Paley. In doing so, Mr. Sáenz adds to a long and distinguished list of historical studies he has written over the last thirty years. His books number well over a dozen, most of them focusing on various aspects of Costa Rica’s history and unique democratic traditions, that make the country a bastion of democracy in Latin America. His study of the life of Prince Vladimir Paley was first published as a biographical essay in Eurohistory — The European Royal History Journal. The success of this essay led to the story of Vladimir Paley becoming a full-on book. Mr. Sáenz is a career diplomat for Costa Rica, as well as a distinguished law professor at the University of Costa Rica. 

This unique book, also containing many samples of the young poet's work, has a 24-page photo section depicting Vladimir Paley and those closest to him. We are exceedingly happy to be able to bring this excellent historical work to you in hardbound form.

A Poet Among the Romanovs will undoubtedly enrich your Romanov Collections!

The book is printing and will be available at the end of January 2021, the first Eurohistory book of the New Year!

Expanded and annotated by Ilana D. Miller and Arturo E. Beéche the book contains the memoirs of one of the most intriguing and exceptional granddaughters of Queen Victoria: Victoria, Dowager Marchioness of Milford Haven. 

Born Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine in 1863, she became one of her English grandmother's most frequent correspondents, as well as a surrogate mother to her younger siblings after the untimely death in 1878 of their mother, Grand Duchess Alice of Hesse. Married in 1884 to her father's first cousin, Prince Louis of Battenberg, Victoria soon became a witness to some of the most momentous historical episodes of her lifetime. Her thoughts (open, frank, no-nonsense, clear) are to be found inside the 280-page book containing her memoirs, her "recollections." The book has been handsomely illustrated with nearly 400 exquisite images sourced from various archives, family collections, as well as the incomparably vast EUROHISTORY Royal Photographic Archive.
