The Last Phase - Fort Belvedere, night of December 10th, 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a significant moment in British history. This photo print, featured in the Coronation Souvenir Book of 1937, takes us back to a time when the fate of the monarchy hung in the balance. On this chilly December night, amidst the grandeur of Fort Belvedere in Berkshire, England, an architectural marvel illuminated by moonlight stands as witness to a political event that would shape the future of Great Britain. The image showcases Fort Belvedere's Grade II listed building status and its majestic exterior. Intriguingly backlit against the dark sky, this photograph symbolizes both hope and uncertainty. It was during this very night that King Edward VIII abdicated his throne for love – forever altering the course of history. Albert Frederick Arthur George ascended to become King George VI while his brother Edward took on a new title as Duke of Windsor. Gordon Beckles' masterful capture transports us to that pivotal moment when power shifted hands within royal circles. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece from our modern vantage point, we are reminded not only of political intrigue but also how architecture can serve as silent witnesses to historic events. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it is a testament to resilience and change within British society during one tumultuous era.
