EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking group photograph captures a historic moment in international relations as His Majesty Shah Mansur Mirza, the Shah of Persia, meets with the British Royal Family onboard the Royal Yacht Victoria & Albert off the coast of Portsmouth on 20 August, 1902. The Shah, dressed in traditional Persian attire including a red fez and a long robe, sits proudly between King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. Surrounded by an entourage of Persian and British officials, the atmosphere is formal and official. The Prince of Wales, Prince George, and other members of the royal party are also present, each adorned with various medals and honours. The Shah's visit to Britain was an important diplomatic mission aimed at strengthening the relationship between the two nations, and this meeting on the yacht marked the beginning of a successful and productive trip. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the grandeur and opulence of the royal court and the cultural exchange between two great empires.
