EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in British history - the Prince of Wales kicking off the Spurs versus Fulham football match in 1921. The future King Edward VIII, dressed impeccably in a suit, stands confidently on the football pitch with a ball at his feet. This illustration is taken from "George V and Edward VIII, A Royal Souvenir" a commemorative book published after George V's passing and Edward VIII's coronation. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only the prince's love for sport but also his connection to the people of Britain. As he prepares to kick off the game that brings joy to countless fans, it becomes evident that he possesses both regal poise and an approachable charm. The image showcases an era when football was gaining immense popularity across Britain during the 1920s. The lush green grass of the football pitch serves as a backdrop for this portrait of royalty intertwined with sportsmanship. It is intriguing to reflect upon how this young prince would later become King Edward VIII before abdicating just months into his reign. His life took unexpected turns, making this photograph all the more precious as it captures him at a pivotal moment full of promise and potential. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by FGH Salusbury, we are reminded of both royal lineage and shared passions that unite us all - regardless of our social standing or occupation.
