EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from the Tatler magazine, published on November 24, 1909, King Manuel I of Portugal is seen extending a warm welcome to the Prince of Wales, later King George V, during his visit to the historic Guildhall in London. The image captures the excitement and grandeur of the Edwardian era, as the two dignitaries exchange pleasantries amidst a sea of well-dressed onlookers. The Prince of Wales, who would ascend to the British throne just a few years later, was on an official tour of Europe at the time, and his stop in London provided an opportunity for him to connect with his Portuguese counterpart. King Manuel, dressed in full regalia, is seen with a beaming smile on his face, extending his hand in a gesture of friendship and camaraderie. The Prince of Wales, clad in a formal morning coat and top hat, looks equally pleased, as he reaches out to shake the King's hand. The backdrop of the Guildhall, with its ornate columns and intricate stonework, adds to the regal atmosphere of the scene. The photograph is a testament to the diplomatic relations between the two monarchies during a time when European politics were undergoing significant changes. The image also offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of Edwardian society, as evidenced by the elegant attire and demeanor of the attendees. Overall, this photograph is a valuable historical record of a significant moment in the annals of European monarchy, and a reminder of the rich cultural exchanges that characterized the early 20th century. The image's publication in the Tatler, a leading society magazine of the time, further underscores its importance as a document of Edwardian society and its fascination with the monarchy.
