EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a momentous occasion in British history - King Edward VII's First Opening of Parliament in 1901. The image shows the king, hand in hand with his beloved Queen consort Alexandra, as they make their way from the Robing-Room to the House of Lords.
The date is February 14th, and the atmosphere is filled with anticipation and excitement as the royal couple leads a grand procession through the halls of power. This event marked a significant milestone for King Edward VII, who had ascended to the throne following the death of his mother, Queen Victoria.
As they walk side by side, it is clear that King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra are not just monarchs but partners in both love and duty. Their regal attire exudes elegance and grace, befitting their status as heads of state.
The print provides a rare glimpse into this historic moment, capturing not just a ceremonial event but also a personal connection between two individuals who shared a deep bond. It serves as a reminder of the pomp and pageantry that surrounded imperial politics at the turn of the century.
MEI - Consolidated Archive Holdings Ltd has preserved this precious piece of history for future generations to appreciate and admire.
