EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in British history - the christening day of the future King Edward VIII on 16 July 1894. In this beautifully colorized image, we see Queen Victoria, her son Bertie (who would later become Edward VII), her grandson George V, and her great-grandson Edward gathered together for this significant event. The photograph is taken from "George V and Edward VIII, A Royal Souvenir" a commemorative book published in 1936 to mark the coronation of Edward VIII following his father's passing. The author, FGH Salusbury, skillfully brings this historical moment to life through his artistry. Intriguingly, this image not only showcases four generations of royalty but also reflects the continuity and legacy within the House of Windsor. It symbolizes the passing down of power and responsibility from one monarch to another. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this print allows us to step back in time and witness an intimate family gathering filled with regal elegance. From Queen Victoria's dignified presence to baby Edward's innocent charm, every figure tells a story that intertwines monarchy with tradition. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of Britain's rich heritage and how it continues to shape our present-day understanding of royalty.
