EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - King Edward VIII in an aeroplane, 1936. The image showcases the monarch himself, donning goggles and a flying helmet, as he takes to the skies in this remarkable aircraft. Published as part of the souvenir book "George V and Edward VIII, A Royal Souvenir" this photograph commemorates Edward VIII's ascension to the throne following his father's passing. It offers a glimpse into the life of British royalty during the early 20th century. The intensity on King Edward VIII's face reveals his passion for aviation and adventure. As he sits confidently in the cockpit, one can only imagine what thoughts were running through his mind at that very moment. This snapshot not only portrays him as a skilled pilot but also highlights his daring spirit. Intriguingly captured by FGH Salusbury, who skillfully immortalized this iconic scene with monochrome precision, it serves as a testament to both Salusbury's talent and King Edward VIII's legacy. This print is more than just an image; it represents an era defined by progress and change. It symbolizes Britain's rich history while showcasing its royal family at their most adventurous. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece of artistry from Heritage Images, we are transported back to a time when kings soared through the clouds with grace and determination.
