EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history when the Prince of Wales, later known as King Edward VIII, proudly donned the uniform of a colonel of the Welsh Guards. Taken around 1919 but printed as a commemorative cigarette card in 1935 to celebrate King George V's Silver Jubilee, this image showcases the royal family's connection to both military service and tradition. In this head and shoulders portrait, we see the young prince with an air of regal confidence. His face is framed by a cap adorned with intricate detailing, symbolizing his position within the prestigious regiment. The monochrome color palette adds depth to his expression while emphasizing his role as heir to the British monarchy. The significance of this print extends beyond its visual appeal; it represents a pivotal era in British history. As World War I came to an end during the early 20th century, commemorations like these were essential for honoring those who served their country. This particular piece serves as both a tribute to King George V's reign and an acknowledgment of Prince Edward's future role as king. Overall, this chromolithograph offers viewers a glimpse into Britain's rich heritage and royal lineage. It reminds us that even amidst times of war and change, traditions endure and are carried forward by generations destined for greatness.
