King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra at the Opening of Parliament, London, 1901
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a momentous occasion in British history - the opening of King Edward VII's first Parliament on February 14th, 1901. The regal couple, King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, are seen seated in the House of Lords within the magnificent Palace of Westminster. Dressed in their elegant Edwardian attire, King Edward VII exudes authority and dignity while Queen Alexandra radiates grace and poise. The king's ermine-trimmed robe adds to his majestic presence as he prepares to address his subjects. The grandeur of this historic event is reflected in the opulent surroundings. The intricately designed interior of the House of Lords showcases Britain's rich architectural heritage. Every detail speaks to a bygone era when pageantry played an essential role in politics. Surrounded by politicians and dignitaries, this image offers a glimpse into a time when monarchy held great significance in shaping national affairs. It symbolizes continuity amidst changing times as Prince Albert Edward assumes his new role as King Edward VII following the death of his mother, Queen Victoria. Preserved through an engraving from The Illustrated London News, this photograph serves as a testament to both historical importance and artistic craftsmanship. It allows us to travel back over a century ago and witness firsthand one of Britain's most significant political events under the reigns of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra.
