EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history as King Edward VII indulges in one of his favorite pastimes - shooting over Sandringham preserves. Taken in the early 1900s, this image showcases the monarch's love for blood sports and leisurely pursuits. King Edward VII, known as Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, ruled as the king of Great Britain and Ireland from 1901 until his passing in 1910. In this photograph, he is seen standing tall against the backdrop of Sandringham House, his country estate located in Norfolk. Surrounded by a group of men forming a shooting party, King Edward takes aim at pheasants soaring through the sky. The royal estates at Sandringham provided an idyllic setting for such sportive activities enjoyed by British aristocracy during that era. Although captured by an unknown creator, this print has become a valuable piece commemorating King Edward VII's life. It was featured in a special supplement to "The Graphic" newspaper on May 11th, 1910 - just months after his demise. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece today, it serves as a reminder of both historical significance and cultural traditions associated with royalty. This image encapsulates not only the grandeur of Sandringham but also offers us a glimpse into the leisurely pursuits enjoyed by kings and nobility during the early years of the twentieth century.
