EDITORS COMMENTS
A Nation's Apprehension: The Crowds Outside Buckingham Palace (1910) This evocative photograph captures the somber mood outside Buckingham Palace on May 6, 1910, as the British people awaited news of King Edward VII's condition. The popular monarch, who had ascended to the throne in 1901, had been suffering from various health issues for some time. His sudden deterioration had sent shockwaves through the nation, and the crowds gathered outside the palace in anxious anticipation. The image, taken by an unknown photographer for ILN (Illustrated London News), shows a sea of people, mostly women, dressed in their Sunday best, huddled together on the pavement, their faces etched with concern and worry. The palpable sense of apprehension is palpable, as the crowd waits for any word on the king's health. The palace gates are in the background, guarded by soldiers, adding to the sense of solemnity and importance. King Edward VII died later that day, and the news was met with universal mourning. The outpouring of grief was a testament to the deep connection the people felt towards their monarch. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact a monarch can have on their subjects and the enduring power of the monarchy as an institution. This image, from the extensive collection of historical photographs at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical document, offering a unique insight into a pivotal moment in British history. It is a poignant reminder of the human connection to history and the enduring power of images to capture and convey the emotions and moods of the past.
