EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - King Edward VIII being saluted as the reigning monarch. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection. The photograph showcases King Edward VIII standing on a balcony, adorned in his regal uniform and hat. As he gazes out into the distance, he receives a salute from his loyal subjects below. The atmosphere is filled with reverence and admiration for their king. This historic snapshot was originally published as an illustration for "George V and Edward VIII, A Royal Souvenir" by Daily Express in 1936. The gravure printing technique used enhances the depth and detail of the image. King Edward VIII's reign was marked by controversy due to his abdication just months after ascending to the throne. His decision to marry Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee, caused a constitutional crisis that shook Britain at its core. Despite this tumultuous period, this photograph immortalizes King Edward VIII's brief time as king and serves as a reminder of British royalty's enduring legacy. It symbolizes not only his personal journey but also represents the rich history and cultural heritage of Great Britain. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of European history through their fine art collection, allowing us to appreciate and reflect upon one pivotal moment captured within it.
