EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a significant moment in the history of the British Monarchy, taken in 1872 during Queen Victoria's Thanksgiving Service held at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. The occasion marked the recovery of Prince Edward, later known as King Edward VII, from a serious illness that had caused great concern among the royal family and the nation. The image shows a radiant Queen Victoria, dressed in her regal attire, seated in the pew surrounded by her family members. Prince Albert, her consort, stands beside her, holding the prayer book. The Prince of Wales, Edward, is seen in the foreground, looking towards his mother with a smile, having made a full recovery from his illness. The Duke of York, the future King George V, stands behind his father, while other members of the royal family, including Princesses Beatrice and Louise, are also present. The Thanksgiving Service was held to express gratitude for Prince Edward's recovery and to seek divine blessings for the royal family and the country. The grandeur of St. Paul's Cathedral, with its magnificent architecture and intricate details, adds to the solemnity and significance of the event. This photograph is a testament to the enduring strength and resilience of the British Monarchy during a time of crisis and serves as a reminder of the deep connection between the monarchy and the people of Britain. The image has historical significance and offers a unique insight into the personal lives of the royal family during the Victorian era.
