King Edward-Oarsman, 1937 - A Glimpse into the Royal Efforts on Water
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Coronation Souvenir Book of 1937 offers a unique insight into the life of King Edward VIII, also known as HRH The Duke of Windsor. Captured during his time as Prince Edward of Wales, this image showcases the future king's dedication to physical activity and his love for rowing. In this monochrome portrait, we see King Edward in an outdoor setting, surrounded by water and boats. He is depicted alongside another individual, both fully engaged in their rowing boat. With oars firmly gripped in hand, they demonstrate strength and determination as they pull through the water with synchronized effort. The photograph not only highlights King Edward's passion for rowing but also reflects his commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle amidst royal duties. It serves as a reminder that even those born into privilege must exert themselves physically to achieve personal goals. As part of Gordon Beckles' edited collection within the Coronation Souvenir Book published by Daily Express in London, this image captures a moment frozen in time during Britain's thirties era. It stands as a testament to Prince Edward's character before he ascended to become King Edward VIII - showcasing his athleticism and providing us with an intimate glimpse into his life beyond official engagements. This remarkable piece transports us back to an era when travel was primarily done on waterways rather than roads or air transport.
