EDITORS COMMENTS
King Edward VII, the beloved monarch of the United Kingdom from 1901 to 1910, is depicted in this early 20th century photograph as he casually rides his Beeston Humber tricycle. The image captures the King in a relaxed and informal setting, providing a rare glimpse into his personal life outside of the grandeur and formalities of the royal court. The Beeston Humber tricycle, a popular mode of transport during that era, was known for its durability and ease of use. King Edward VII, who was an avid sportsman and enjoyed outdoor activities, likely found the tricycle to be an ideal means of transportation for his leisurely rides around the palace grounds or through the streets of London. The photograph showcases the King wearing a double-breasted coat, a bowler hat, and a pair of gloves, which were typical attire for a man of his social standing during that time. The tranquil expression on his face and the serene surroundings of the scene add to the overall charm and appeal of the image. This photograph offers a unique and personal perspective of King Edward VII, allowing us to connect with him as a man, rather than just a monarch. It is a reminder of a bygone era, where the British monarchy was still deeply rooted in tradition, yet the everyday lives of the royals were not as heavily scrutinized as they are today.
