King Edward VII's Visit to the Smithfield Show in North London, 1909: A Historical Moment in Agricultural History This photograph captures a significant moment in history as King Edward VII, the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom from 1901 to 1910, pays a visit to the Smithfield Show in Islington, North London, on October 21, 1909. The Agricultural Hall in Islington played host to this annual event, showcasing the finest livestock, farm produce, and agricultural machinery from across the country. King Edward VII, dressed in a top hat and overcoat, is seen here in the company of his entourage, including members of the nobility and high-ranking officials. The King's keen interest in agriculture was well-known, and his attendance at the Smithfield Show was a testament to his support for the agricultural community. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, revealing the grandeur and opulence of the royal entourage, as well as the vibrant and bustling atmosphere of the show. The King's presence at the Smithfield Show was a source of great pride for the local community and a significant boost to the agricultural industry. The photograph is a reminder of the rich history of agriculture in North London and the important role it played in the lives of the people of the time. Today, the Smithfield Market remains a thriving hub for the food industry, continuing the tradition of showcasing the best of British produce. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a valuable historical document that provides a unique insight into the past and the relationship between the monarchy and the agricultural community in early 20th century Britain.
