EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in time as King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra pay a visit to the Royal Victoria Patriotic Asylum located on Wandsworth Common in Surrey (now in south west London), on 24 July 1907. The entrance of the asylum, adorned with Union Jack flags and a red carpet, sets the regal tone for the occasion. The monarchs, dressed in their formal Edwardian attire, are seen descending the steps of the asylum, with Queen Alexandra leading the way in a beautiful hat adorned with feathers and flowers. King Edward VII follows behind, wearing a top hat and holding a cane. The dignitaries and workers of the asylum line up to greet the royal visitors, adding to the grandeur of the scene. The Royal Victoria Patriotic Asylum, established in 1867, was originally designed to provide care for soldiers and sailors who were injured or infirm, as well as for veterans and their widows. The visit by the King and Queen was an important gesture of support and recognition for the vital work carried out by the institution. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the historical significance of the Royal Family's role in society during the Edwardian era. The image is a testament to the grandeur and pageantry of the time, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape British culture today.
