EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in Irish history as it depicts King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra's visit to Leopardstown Racecourse in 1911. The royal couple is seen enjoying the races from the comfort of the royal pavilion, with the King standing on the balcony donning a grey frock-suit. To his left, Lord Aberdeen and his wife, Lady Aberdeen, engage in conversation. The Duke of Connaught can also be spotted in the background, round the corner. The elegant fashion of the era is on full display, with the ladies dressed in their finest hats and dresses, adding an air of sophistication to the scene. The King's visit to Ireland was an important part of the 1911 Royal Tour, which marked the first time a British monarch had visited the country since 1849. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the social scenes and fashionable costumes of the early 1910s, making it an invaluable historical record.
