EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of King Edward VII's passion for horse racing, showcasing his triumphant victories on the track. The montage features Edward VII leading in Minoru, his 1909 Derby winner, with the King just visible underneath the top hat he is raising in celebration. Surrounding this central image are three other of the King's Derby winners; Diamond Jubilee from 1900 at the top, Persimmon from 1896 on the left, and Minoru once again, who claimed victory in the King's last Derby before his death in 1910.
Among Edward VII's many social and leisure pursuits, horse racing held a special place in his heart. Even as he lay on his deathbed, he took great pleasure in hearing about racing successes. This montage serves as a poignant reminder of not only Edward VII's love for horse racing but also his enduring legacy as one of Britain's most passionate and influential monarchs.
Through this carefully curated collection of images, we catch a glimpse of a bygone era when royalty mingled with commoners at race tracks across England, united by their shared love for these magnificent creatures thundering down the course towards glory. It is a testament to Edward VII's lasting impact on British society and culture that continues to be felt to this day.
