EDITORS COMMENTS
"This striking photograph captures Edward, Prince of Wales, in his ceremonial regalia as the Grand Master of English Freemasons, a position he held from 1875 to 1901. The image, taken in 1910, shows Edward, who would later ascend to the throne as King Edward VII in 1901, wearing the grand master's apron and collar adorned with the emblems of Freemasonry. The historical significance of this photograph lies in the fact that Edward's involvement with Freemasonry began in 1841 when he joined the lodge as a young man, making him one of the longest-serving grand masters in the organization's history. During his tenure as grand master, Edward played a pivotal role in shaping the future of Freemasonry in England. He oversaw the expansion of the organization, the establishment of new lodges, and the implementation of reforms that modernized the fraternity. Edward's commitment to Freemasonry was unwavering, and he continued to attend meetings and events even after his accession to the throne. The photograph also highlights the rich symbolism of Freemasonry, with the various emblems and insignia adorning Edward's regalia representing the organization's values of brotherly love, relief, and truth. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of Freemasonry and its continued relevance in British history and culture." This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the life and legacy of Edward, Prince of Wales, and his role as the Grand Master of English Freemasons. The image is part of the extensive collection of historical photographs available at Mary Evans Picture Library.
