The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Queen Alexandra herself, showcasing her talent not only as royalty but also as an accomplished photographer. The image depicts a grand naval salute offered to King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra while they were passing through the Solent River on board HMS Dreadnought. This powerful display of respect and loyalty from the Home Fleet showcases the strong bond between the British monarchy and its armed forces. Published in Queen Alexandra's Christmas Gift Book by The Daily Telegraph in 1908, this photograph beautifully encapsulates the essence of early 20th-century Britain. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing both its historical significance and artistic value.
