EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the year 1908, where King Haakon VII of Norway stands tall and regal alongside his young son Olav. The direct gaze of both father and son reveals a deep bond between them, as they exude an air of strength and dignity. Dressed in their elegant attire, King Haakon dons a military uniform while little Olav wears a charming suit. This portrait captures not only their familial connection but also the weighty responsibility that comes with being part of Norwegian royalty. The image is taken from Queen Alexandra's Christmas Gift Book, Photographs from My Camera - a publication by Queen Alexandra herself. As the wife of King Edward VII of England and mother-in-law to Haakon VII, she had an intimate view into the lives of European monarchies. This print serves as a testament to fatherhood and monarchy alike. It showcases the love between generations within one family while representing the importance placed on lineage in royal circles. Both King Haakon VII and his son Olav went on to play significant roles in shaping Norway's history as future kings. Preserved through time by The Daily Telegraph, this monochrome masterpiece allows us to glimpse into a moment frozen forever - capturing not just two individuals but also an era defined by tradition, duty, and devotion.
