EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts a pivotal moment in British history, the Royal Baccarat Scandal of 1891, also known as the Tranby Croft Affair. The image captures the public trial of Sir William Gordon-Cumming, a decorated lieutenant colonel in the Scots Guards, and the Prince of Wales, who would later become King Edward VII, in the Old Bailey Criminal Court. The scandal unfolded during a house party in September 1890, when Sir William Gordon-Cumming was accused of cheating at baccarat. The game of baccarat, a popular pastime among the aristocracy, had long been a source of controversy due to its association with gambling and allegations of unfair play. The Tranby Croft Affair, however, marked a turning point as it involved a member of the royal family. The Prince of Wales, who was present during the alleged cheating incident, was also implicated in the scandal, adding fuel to the public's fascination. The trial, which began in January 1891, was a major event, attracting significant media attention and public interest. The scene depicted in this photograph shows the defendants, Sir William Gordon-Cumming and the Prince of Wales, seated in the dock, surrounded by a sea of onlookers. The trial ultimately resulted in acquittals for both men, but the scandal left a lasting impact on the public's perception of the British monarchy and the aristocracy. This photograph print offers a glimpse into a fascinating moment in history, capturing the intrigue, scandal, and public fascination that surrounded the Royal Baccarat Scandal of 1891.
