1894 1972 22nd Finlay Photographed Process Viii Windsor
EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historic photograph captures the young Prince of Wales, Edward, later King Edward VIII and Duke of Windsor, in a rare moment of relaxation during the early 1930s. The image, taken using the innovative Finlay process, showcases the Prince in full colour, adding a unique and striking quality to the photograph. Edward, born on November 23, 1894, was the eldest son of King George V and Queen Mary. He was known for his charisma, popularity, and playboy image, which made him a favorite among the public. However, his reign as King was short-lived, as he abdicated on December 11, 1936, after less than a year on the throne, due to his desire to marry Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee. This photograph, taken on March 7, 1930, shows the Prince in a more casual setting, dressed in a suit and tie, with a relaxed expression on his face. The use of the Finlay process, an early color photography technique, adds a sense of modernity and importance to the image. The photograph is a testament to the Prince's charm and charisma, making it an invaluable addition to any historical collection. The photograph is part of the Illustrated London News (ILN) archive, which holds an extensive collection of historical photographs and documents. The image is a reminder of the rich history of the British monarchy and the fascinating life of one of its most intriguing figures, Edward, Prince of Wales, who was born on November 23, 1894, and passed away on May 28, 1972.
