EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra at the State Opening of Parliament in Westminster, London on 14 February 1901. The image showcases a momentous occasion during their reign, as they were adorned in opulent robes and surrounded by the grandeur of the House of Lords. The photograph, taken by Samuel Begg and reproduced through photogravure, exudes an air of majesty and power. It is part of The Illustrated London News Record of the Glorious Reign of Queen Victoria, 1837-1901, documenting not only Queen Victoria's rule but also providing insight into King Edward VII's accession to the throne. King Edward VII stands tall with his queen consort by his side. Their expressions are dignified yet approachable, reflecting their popularity among both British subjects and foreign dignitaries. With ermine-trimmed robes cascading down from their shoulders and thrones befitting their royal status, they embody elegance and authority. The State Opening ceremony itself was steeped in tradition and pageantry—a symbol of Britain's rich history. This photograph encapsulates that ceremonial atmosphere while offering a glimpse into early 20th-century politics. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to a time when monarchy reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder not only of King Edward VII's influential reign but also pays homage to an era where royalty held significant sway over political affairs—an enchanting snapshot frozen in time for all to admire.
