EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic HMS Spartan off the coast of Norway in 1904. The artist behind this remarkable piece is none other than Queen Alexandra herself, who captured this stunning image for her Christmas Gift Book titled "Photographs from My Camera". Published by The Daily Telegraph in London in 1908, this photograph truly embodies the essence of early 20th-century Britain. HMS Spartan, a second-class cruiser launched in 1891, served faithfully until its retirement in 1931. Its impressive silhouette dominates the frame as it gracefully glides through Norwegian waters. The ship's distinctive funnel stands tall against the backdrop of a serene bay, symbolizing British naval power and technological advancement during that era. Queen Alexandra's talent behind the lens shines through as she expertly captures not only an extraordinary warship but also the natural beauty of Norway's geography. This monochrome masterpiece transports us back to a time when water transport was at its peak and ships like HMS Spartan were vital for both trade and defense. As we admire this historical gem, let us appreciate Queen Alexandra's contribution to photography while acknowledging her royal status as Princess Alexandra of Denmark and later Queen consort to King Edward VII. This print serves as a testament to her multifaceted talents and enduring legacy within British history.
