EDITORS COMMENTS
This elegant postcard captures a glimpse of history as we behold the statue of His Majesty King Edward VII, erected in honor of his visit to Cannes, South of France, in June 1907. The statue, situated outside the Municipal Casino, stands proudly overlooking the harbor and the vibrant Riviera. The year is circa 1912, and the tranquil waters of the Mediterranean reflect the grandeur of the British monarch, who was the first reigning English king to visit the Côte d'Azur. King Edward VII, also known as "Edward the Peacemaker," is depicted in his regal attire, seated on a plinth with an air of serenity. The intricate railings of the casino in the background add an element of sophistication to the scene, while the steamships and other vessels in the harbor hint at the bustling activity of the port. The visit of the beloved monarch to Cannes marked a significant moment in the town's history. The British royalty's presence helped put Cannes on the map as an international destination for the wealthy and elite. This postcard, produced by an unidentified publisher, serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the French Riviera and the allure of its royal connections. The statue continues to stand as a symbol of the rich history and cultural exchange between Britain and France, drawing visitors from around the world to pay their respects and capture a piece of history.
