EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from 1904, the late Duke of Cambridge's carriage is seen up for auction, fetching an unexpectedly low price of just 21 pounds. The Duke of Cambridge, His Royal Highness Prince George Frederick Ernest Albert, was the fifth son of Queen Victoria and the brother of King Edward VII. The carriage, a magnificent horse-drawn coach, was a symbol of the Duke's aristocratic status and had likely served him well during his public engagements and travels. The image captures the moment of the auction, with bidders intently watching as Fred Karno, a well-known English entertainer and the founder of Fred Karno's Comedy Company, places the winning bid. Karno, known for his flamboyant personality and innovative stage productions, was a shrewd businessman who saw an opportunity in this royal relic. The carriage, now owned by Karno, was likely to be used in his entertainment troupe for various theatrical productions or parades. The acquisition of the Duke of Cambridge's carriage was a significant bargain for Karno, adding an air of grandeur and prestige to his shows. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the intersection of royalty and entertainment during an era of change. The Duke of Cambridge's carriage, once a symbol of power and status, was repurposed for the stage, highlighting the dynamic nature of history and the ever-evolving world of entertainment.
