EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in Canadian history - the greeting of a Canadian mother by King Edward VIII at the 1936 Dedication of the Vimy Memorial. The image, taken from the Coronation Souvenir Book 1937 edited by Gordon Beckles, showcases the Duke of Windsor engaging warmly with this proud mother. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see King Edward VIII dressed impeccably for the occasion, adorned with medals that reflect his royal status. His Majesty extends his hand to greet this Canadian lady who stands before him with grace and dignity. The meeting between these two individuals represents not only a personal encounter but also symbolizes the connection between Britain and Canada during this era. The photograph is set against an outdoor backdrop, emphasizing both the importance of nature and its role as witness to historical events. The dedication ceremony itself took place at Vimy Ridge, a significant site commemorating those who fought in World War I. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into a bygone era - one characterized by monarchy, patriotism, and respect for motherhood. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and highlights how even ordinary people had opportunities to interact with royalty on special occasions such as these. This portrait encapsulates both individual stories within broader historical narratives while inviting us to reflect upon our own heritage.
