EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a young and dashing Edward, Prince of Wales, during his time at the prestigious University of Oxford in 1862. Born on November 9, 1841, Edward VII was the eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. At the age of 18, he began his academic journey at Christ Church, one of the oldest and most esteemed colleges in Oxford. The image shows Edward in full academic regalia, wearing the traditional Oxford gown and mortarboard cap, as he sits in a chair with a book in hand. The serene expression on his face and the calm atmosphere of the setting convey a sense of focus and determination. The backdrop of the college's beautiful architecture and lush greenery adds to the historical significance of the photograph. Edward's time at Oxford was a pivotal moment in his life. He developed a deep appreciation for art, literature, and culture, which would influence his reign as king from 1901 to 1910. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the prince's academic pursuits and the rich history of the University of Oxford. The year 1862 marked the beginning of Edward's transformation from a prince to a future monarch. This image offers a rare glimpse into his personal life and the formative years that shaped his character and leadership. As we admire the photograph, we are transported back in time, witnessing a moment in history that continues to captivate and inspire.
