EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures two significant moments in King Edward VII's early reign as sovereign in 1901. The top image showcases the king investing his grand-nephew, the German Crown Prince, with the prestigious Order of the Garter at Osborne on January 28th. This act symbolizes both familial ties and diplomatic relations between England and Germany during that time. The bottom image depicts a momentous occasion - King Edward VII opening his first Parliament on February 14th. This event marked an important milestone in his reign, demonstrating his commitment to governing and leading his nation. The photograph was originally featured as an illustration for The Sphere's Coronation Number in June 1902, celebrating King Edward VII's coronation alongside Queen Alexandra. Their coronation took place at Westminster Abbey on August 9th, after being postponed due to the king's illness. This historic piece serves as a visual testament to the rich history of British royalty and their influence across Europe during this era. It also highlights key figures such as Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany who played a significant role in international politics at that time. Displayed within a private collection, this color lithograph offers viewers a glimpse into these pivotal moments from over a century ago. Its vibrant hues bring life to these historical events while preserving their significance for generations to come.
