EDITORS COMMENTS
John Hayter's lithograph, 'Christening of Edward VII,' captures a significant moment in British history as Prince Albert Edward, later King Edward VII, is baptized in the Font at St. James Palace, London, in the late 19th century. The image, a lithotint print on paper, showcases the prince being opened the mouth to receive the baptismal water from the priest, surrounded by a group of royals and dignitaries. The future monarch, dressed in a white christening gown, is held by his mother, Princess Alexandra of Denmark, while his father, Prince Albert Edward, Duke of Cornwall and York, looks on with pride. The Prince of Wales, later King George V, stands to the side, along with other male attendants. The women in the background, dressed in elegant Victorian attire, observe the ceremony with interest. The intricate detail and tonal range of the lithograph highlight the ceremonial nature of the event, reflecting the religious and cultural heritage of the time. This historic moment, captured by the skilled hand of John Hayter, is now part of the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcasing the rich artistic and historical legacy of Britain.
