EDITORS COMMENTS
This close-up print captures a significant moment in history - the Souvenir Book of King Edward VIII: Told in Pictures, 1937. King Edward VIII, born in 1894 and ruled from January to December 1936, is depicted here during his short-lived reign as the monarch of Great Britain. The book showcases a collection of sepia-toned images that chronicle key events and political milestones during his time on the throne. Edward's reign was marked by controversy as he abdicated his position to be with Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee whom he deeply loved. This decision shook the monarchy and captivated public attention worldwide. The inset lettering on this royal souvenir provides additional context about these tumultuous times. Published by Sankey, Hudson & Co. , this memento offers a glimpse into English literature and politics of the thirties era. It serves as both a historical artifact and a reminder of Edward's personal sacrifice for love. The image focuses on Western script text within the book, showcasing lower case letters that add an artistic touch to its design. As we delve into this piece from the early twentieth century, we are reminded of how love can transcend boundaries even among royalty.
