EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Accession of King Edward VII: signing the proclamation; the proclamation being made" captures a significant moment in history. This color lithograph, created by an English School artist in the 20th century, depicts the scene where King Edward VII signs the proclamation while it is being made. The artwork belongs to a private collection and was originally published as an illustration for The Sphere's Coronation Number in June 1902. The coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra took place at Westminster Abbey on August 9,1902. However, this event had been postponed from its original date of June 26 due to the king's illness. The image showcases not only the historical significance of this royal occasion but also highlights the intricate details surrounding it. In this piece, we witness a transfer of power as King Edward VII ascends to his throne following Queen Victoria's death on January 22,1901. The signing of the proclamation symbolizes his official accession to power and marks a new era for England. This photograph provides us with a glimpse into London's St James's Palace council chamber where this historic moment unfolded. It allows us to appreciate both British royalty and their rich history that spans centuries. Overall, this print serves as a visual testament to one of Britain's most important events during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries – an event that forever shaped its future under King Edward VII's reign.
