EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image showcases the Prince of Wales, later known as King Edward VIII, engaging in a leisurely game of croquet during the early 20th century. The Prince, dressed in formal attire complete with a top hat and cane, exudes an air of regal sophistication as he concentrates on making his next move. His companion, also dressed in Edwardian era clothing, looks on intently, ready to offer advice or assistance. The lush, green lawn stretches out behind them, dotted with colorful croquet hoops and balls. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a charming lantern slide projector, which would have once projected this very image onto a screen for the enjoyment of family and friends. The Prince of Wales, who reigned from 1936 to 1936 before abdicating the throne, was known for his love of sport and the outdoors. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the private life of this intriguing historical figure, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the elegance and grace of the Edwardian era.
