EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Edward VII (1841-1910), the King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions and Emperor of India, in the Royal Box at Ascot during the visit of King Alfonso of Spain in 1905. The image showcases the regal elegance of the two monarchs as they engage in the time-honored tradition of horse racing. Edward VII was known for his vast array of leisure interests, with horse-racing being one of his most prominent passions. Ascot Racecourse, located in Berkshire, England, was a favorite destination for the King, who was often seen gracing the Royal Box with his presence. In this photograph, Edward's enthusiasm for horse racing is evident as he dons a top hat and tailcoat, the traditional attire for the occasion. King Alfonso of Spain, dressed in a formal suit and adorned with a sash, sits beside him, showcasing the camaraderie between the two monarchs. The visit of King Alfonso in 1905 was a significant event in the royal calendar, and this photograph provides a rare glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the royal box at Ascot. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, is a testament to the rich history of the British monarchy and their love for horse racing. This photograph, which is part of the Illustrated London News (ILN) collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique insight into the lives of two monarchs and their shared passion for horse racing during a bygone era. The image is not to be used for commercial purposes and is available for rights-managed licensing.
