EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1911, we catch a glimpse of the future King Edward VIII as a young boy, confidently riding his bicycle through the streets of Britain. The image, beautifully illustrated by FGH Salusbury in his book "George V and Edward VIII, A Royal Souvenir" captures the essence of youth and freedom. Prince Edward's passion for cycling is evident as he navigates the road with ease and grace. His regal stature shines through even at such a tender age, foreshadowing his future role as king. The monochrome tones add an air of nostalgia to the portrait, transporting us back to a simpler time when bicycles were not just means of transportation but symbols of independence. As one can imagine, this print holds great historical significance given that it was published following George V's death and Edward VIII's ascension to the throne. It serves as a reminder of the royal lineage that shaped British history during the early 20th century. FGH Salusbury skillfully captures Prince Edward's youthful spirit in this timeless piece. Whether you are fascinated by royalty or simply appreciate vintage photography, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and transport you back in time to witness an iconic moment in British history.
