EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we catch a glimpse of King Edward VIII diligently at work with his staff in the grand St James's Palace in London, 1936. The image is an illustration from the esteemed book "George V and Edward VIII, A Royal Souvenir" by FGH Salusbury, which was published as a commemoration following the passing of King George V. The scene showcases the monarch engrossed in his administrative duties, surrounded by regal furniture and an air of importance. Seated behind an elegant desk adorned with papers and correspondence, King Edward VIII exudes authority while attending to matters of state. His secretary stands nearby, ready to assist him with any tasks that may arise. This snapshot offers us a rare insight into the inner workings of royalty during this era. It captures not only the physical beauty of St James's Palace but also highlights the meticulousness required for effective governance. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the image, transporting us back to a pivotal moment in British history. As we gaze upon this print captured by FGH Salusbury, we are reminded of King Edward VIII's short-lived reign and subsequent abdication just months after ascending to the throne. This poignant photograph serves as a testament to both his dedication as king and his eventual decision to prioritize love over duty.
