EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a moment in history at Windsor Castle and the Eton Boat House in May 1910. The union flag flies at half mast, signaling the recent passing of King Edward VII, as a somber reminder of the nation's mourning. In the foreground, a group of boys can be seen near their boats on the River Thames, perhaps seeking solace in the peaceful waters during this time of loss.
The view of Windsor Castle provides a majestic backdrop to this scene, with its towering spires and historic architecture standing tall against the sky. The landing stage outside the Eton Boat House adds to the picturesque setting, inviting thoughts of leisurely days spent boating on the river.
This image is not just a snapshot from over a century ago; it is a window into a moment when Britain was united in grief for its departed monarch. The British royal family's presence looms large in this photograph, reminding us of their enduring place in our national identity.
As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are transported back to a time when flags flew at half mast and hearts were heavy with sorrow. It serves as both a tribute to King Edward VII and an evocative glimpse into life along the Thames in Berkshire during that era.
