EDITORS COMMENTS
John Hayter's lithograph, 'Christening of Edward VII,' captures a significant moment in British history as the future King Edward VII is baptized in the Font at St. James's Palace, London, in the late 19th century. The image depicts a crowded room filled with royals and dignitaries, all dressed in their finest attire, gathered to witness the baptismal ceremony. At the center stands the Infant Prince Albert Edward, the Prince of Wales, being held by his mother, Princess Alexandra of Denmark. The Archbishop of Canterbury, wearing his ceremonial robes, performs the baptism, opening the prince's mouth to touch his tongue with the baptismal spoon. The future King Edward VII is surrounded by a group of women, likely his godmothers, who watch with pride and devotion. The men in the room, including the Duke of York and the Duke of Connaught, stand respectfully to the side. This historic moment in the life of the monarch is beautifully preserved in this lithograph on paper, a testament to the rich heritage of British art and the enduring significance of religious ceremonies in shaping the country's history.
