EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Edward, Prince of Wales, later known as King Edward VIII and Duke of Windsor, during a leisurely shooting excursion at his beloved Balmoral estate in Scotland. Taken in the year 1910, when Edward was still the heir apparent to the British throne, this image showcases his passion for hunting and the great outdoors. The serene setting of the Scottish highlands provides a striking contrast to the formalities and responsibilities that awaited him as the future monarch. Edward, born on November 23, 1894, was the eldest son of King George V and Queen Mary. He was educated at various institutions, including Harrow School and the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. Known for his charisma and good looks, Edward was a popular figure among the British people. However, his reign as king was short-lived, as he abdicated in 1936 in order to marry Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee. This photograph, taken a decade before Edward's abdication, offers a glimpse into a simpler time in his life. The Prince is seen here in his element, dressed in tweeds and holding a shotgun, surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Scottish landscape. The image is a testament to Edward's love of nature and the traditions of the British aristocracy, which he would later abandon in favor of a more unconventional life. The photograph is a precious addition to any collection of historical images, providing a window into the life of a monarch whose reign was marked by controversy and scandal. This print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a high-quality reproduction of an original image from the Illustrated London News, and is a must-have for history enthusiasts, royal watchers, and anyone interested in the history of the British monarchy.
