EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 1901, we are transported back to a momentous occasion in British history. The image captures the christening ceremony of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, who would later become King Edward VII. Born as the eldest son and second child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, this event took place at St Georges Chapel in Windsor Castle. The photograph showcases a scene filled with solemnity and grandeur. Archbishop William Howley can be seen performing the sacred ritual while surrounded by members of the royal family and esteemed guests. The architectural beauty of Windsor Castle serves as an impressive backdrop for this significant event. This snapshot offers a glimpse into Victorian-era Britain's religious customs and societal norms surrounding royalty. It also highlights the importance placed on lineage and succession within the monarchy. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, we cannot help but marvel at how far-reaching its implications were for both British society and international politics. This print is not just an artifact; it is a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by one of Britain's most influential monarchs. From "The Illustrated London News Record of the Glorious Reign of Queen Victoria 1837-1901: The Life and Accession of King Edward VII" published in London in 1901, this image encapsulates an era marked by tradition, power struggles, familial bonds, and hope for a prosperous future under King Edward VII's reign.
