EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a solemn moment in history - the deathbed portrait of His Majesty King Edward VII. Created by renowned artist Luke Fildes, this powerful image was drawn at Buckingham Palace on 8 May 1910, just after the passing of the beloved monarch. King Edward VII, born Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, was a significant figure in British history as the king of Great Britain and Ireland. This poignant photograph showcases his regal presence even in death, with Fildes skillfully capturing every detail of his royal countenance. The monochrome composition adds to the gravity of the scene, emphasizing both the somberness and dignity surrounding this historical event. The print originally appeared as a supplement to "The Graphic" a newspaper that dedicated an entire issue to commemorate King Edward's life shortly after his passing on 6 May 1910. Luke Fildes' talent shines through in this masterful portrayal of royalty. As one gazes upon this image, it is impossible not to feel a sense of reverence for King Edward VII and reflect upon his significant contributions during his reign. This print serves as a testament to both Fildes' artistic prowess and King Edward's enduring legacy. It stands as an important piece within British history and offers viewers an opportunity to connect with a pivotal moment from over a century ago.
