Canvas Prints from Mary Evans Picture Library
The Prince of Wales in a sailor suit
Prince Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, King Edward VII (1841-1910) dressed in a sailor suit, after a painting by Winterhalter. Painted in 1846 when Bertie was four years old, this popular picture marked a turning point in childrens fashion. He was given a scaled-down version of a sailors uniform worn by ratings on the Royal Yacht. He wore it during a cruise off the Channel Islands and delighted his mother and the public alike. Popular engravings spread the idea and by the 1870s the sailor suit became normal dress for boys all over the world - and often their sisters too. The original suit is preserved in the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases a young Prince Albert Edward, later known as King Edward VII, dressed in a sailor suit in a painting by Winterhalter. Painted in 1846 when Bertie was just four years old, this image marked a significant turning point in children's fashion. The Prince was given a scaled-down version of a sailor's uniform worn by ratings on the Royal Yacht. During a cruise off the Channel Islands, he delighted his mother and the public with his adorable appearance in the sailor suit. The popularity of this painting spread through engravings, and by the 1870s, the sailor suit had become the norm for boys all over the world, with girls often following suit as well. The original sailor suit, preserved in the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, is an import historical artifact that showcases the influence of the British monarchy on global fashion trends. The painting, titled "His Royal Highness Prince Albert Edward of Wales (Bertie) in a Sailor Suit," was created during a time when the Royal Family was a significant source of inspiration for fashion. The Prince's sailor suit, with its nautical charm, captured the hearts of people and set a trend that lasted for decades. The image of a young prince in a sailor suit remains a cherished symbol of childhood innocence and the enduring appeal of the sea.
