EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense atmosphere outside Buckingham Palace on the 5th of May, 1910. The crowd eagerly awaits news about the illness of King Edward VII, their anxious faces reflecting a nation's concern for their beloved monarch. Little did they know that this would be his last day as king. The image showcases a multitude of people, both men and women, gathered in front of the majestic palace. Their presence creates an air of anticipation and apprehension that permeates through the railings surrounding the iconic building. This snapshot freezes a moment in time when Britain stood on edge, anxiously waiting for updates from within those regal walls. As we delve into this historical scene, we are transported to early 20th century London - a city deeply connected to its monarchy. The concept of royalty is palpable in every face present; it is evident that these individuals hold great reverence for their country's sovereign. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how news was disseminated during this era - through bulletins posted at public locations like Buckingham Palace. It encapsulates not only an important event but also reflects society's reliance on physical communication methods before technology revolutionized our world. Preserved by The Graphic Supplement and now brought back to life by The Print Collector, this monochrome masterpiece allows us to witness firsthand the collective anxiety experienced by Britons upon learning about King Edward VII's deteriorating health.
