EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures H.R.H. The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII of Great Britain and Ireland, in his role as Honorary Colonel of the Blucher (Fifth Prussian) Hussars in 1891. The Prince, who is wearing the distinctive uniform of the hussar regiment, stands proudly with a stern expression, his beard well-groomed and his military hat tilted at a jaunty angle. The image was published in 'The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper' in December 1891, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and military customs of the late Victorian era. The Blucher Hussars were part of the Prussian Army, and the Prince's association with the regiment reflected the close ties between the British and German royal families at the time. The Prince's military career spanned several decades, and he served as a colonel in various regiments before becoming King in 1901. This photograph is a testament to his dedication to the armed forces and his role as a respected military figure.
