EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a solemn moment in British history as King Edward VII lies in state at Buckingham Palace. The Throne Room is transformed into a scene of mourning, with the king's coffin draped in a Union Jack flag and surrounded by an array of flowers.
The image exudes a sense of reverence and respect, as members of the royal guard stand watch over their fallen monarch in their distinctive bearskin uniforms. The chandeliers overhead cast a soft glow on the scene, adding to the somber atmosphere.
King Edward VII's passing marked the end of an era for Britain, as he was known for his affable personality and diplomatic skills. His death was met with widespread grief across the nation, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of his legacy.
As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back to that fateful day in May 1910 when London came together to bid farewell to their beloved king. The altar with its cross stands as a symbol of faith and hope amidst the sorrowful occasion.
The Patricia Aubrey Collection has preserved this moment in time for future generations to reflect upon, reminding us of the enduring power of royalty and duty.
