EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in British history. Taken in 1901, it showcases Prince Albert Edward (1841-1910), the future King Edward VII, during his first levee held at St James's Palace in London. Levees were formal receptions hosted by the British monarchy until 1939. In this image, we witness Prince Edward meeting officials, diplomats, and military officers who have gathered to pay their respects. Dressed impeccably in full court dress uniform, these distinguished guests individually present themselves before the prince and bow as a sign of respect. The photograph provides a glimpse into the grandeur and ceremonial nature of these events. The interior of St James's Palace serves as an elegant backdrop for this gathering of influential figures from various professions and occupations. Published in "The Illustrated London News Record of the Glorious Reign of Queen Victoria" this image is part of a comprehensive documentation spanning Queen Victoria's reign from 1837 to 1901. It offers us valuable insight into both King Edward VII's life and accession to the throne. As we admire this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of Britain's rich royal traditions but also its enduring legacy shaped by remarkable individuals like Prince Albert Edward – later known as King Edward VII – who played pivotal roles on both national and international stages.
