EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Prince of Wales in 1923, showcasing a vibrant and detailed colour lithograph. The English School artist beautifully portrays Edward VIII, also known as the Duke of Windsor, wearing his distinguished Silver Wolf Badge. This prestigious badge was bestowed upon him during the Scout Rally at Alexandra Palace in London on October 7th, 1922. The image showcases the Prince saluting with three fingers, symbolizing the Scouts' three-fold promise: to honor God and the King, help others, and obey the Scout Law. This powerful gesture serves as a reminder to Guides and Scouts of their commitment to these principles. Part of Ansties Gold Flake Cigarettes' Scout Series cigarette cards collection, this illustration is an exquisite example of vintage advertising artistry. The Prince's radiant smile reflects his dedication to scouting and his role as Chief Scout for Wales. Adorned in his royal uniform and hat while proudly displaying the Union Jack flag behind him, this photograph exudes regality and patriotism. It encapsulates a significant moment in history when Edward VIII held both princely duties and scout leadership responsibilities. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images invites us into a bygone era where honouring tradition, serving others, and upholding loyalty were paramount values cherished by royalty like Edward VIII.
