The Investiture of the Prince of Wales, c. 1915
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a momentous occasion in British history. This stunning color lithograph by Christopher Williams depicts the investiture ceremony of King Edward VIII, then known as the Prince of Wales, at Caernarfon Castle on July 13th, 1911. In this image, we see a young Edward standing tall and proud as his father, King George V, places the crown upon his head. The scene is filled with an air of grandeur and tradition as onlookers gather to witness this significant event. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print. From the elaborate robes worn by both father and son to the regal surroundings of Caernarfon Castle itself, each element adds to the sense of majesty and importance surrounding this investiture. This artwork was originally published in "Land of My Fathers" a book that celebrated Welsh heritage and culture during World War I. It serves not only as a visual representation but also as a historical record capturing an important milestone in British monarchy. "The Investiture of the Prince of Wales" stands as a testament to tradition and succession within royal families. It symbolizes continuity and marks the beginning of Edward's journey towards becoming king before his abdication in 1936. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images allows us to marvel at this historic moment for generations to come.
