EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming French cartoon captures a light-hearted moment in the history of the British monarchy, as King Edward VII (1841-1910) undergoes the fitting of his new crown during his coronation preparations in 1902. The image, published in a French magazine around 1910, showcases the monarch in a relaxed and jovial mood, surrounded by a group of attendants who are intently focused on the intricate details of the crown. Edward VII, who ascended to the throne following the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, was known for his love of fine food, fashion, and the company of women. His reign marked a significant shift from the strict Victorian era, with a renewed emphasis on modernity, entertainment, and social change. The fitting of his crown, an essential ritual in the coronation ceremony, provided an opportunity for the king to showcase his charisma and sense of humor. The cartoonist's depiction of the event highlights the contrast between the grandeur of the crown and the informal atmosphere of the scene. Edward's easygoing demeanor and the lighthearted banter among his attendants suggest a monarch who was not only comfortable in his role but also enjoyed the pageantry and traditions of the monarchy. This delightful cartoon offers a unique glimpse into the personal side of a monarch who played a pivotal role in shaping the modern British monarchy. It also serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of historical cartoons and caricatures as a means of capturing the essence of the past and the personalities of the people who shaped it.
