EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to a significant moment in British history. This beautifully detailed print by George Hayter depicts the christening ceremony of the future King Edward VII. The scene unfolds within the grandeur of St Georges Chapel, where esteemed guests and members of the royal family gather to witness this momentous occasion. Queen Victoria herself stands at the forefront, radiating regal elegance as she holds her infant son, who would one day ascend to the throne. Hayter's meticulous attention to detail brings every figure and architectural element to life. From the intricate carvings on pillars to the ornate decorations adorning Windsor Castle's chapel walls, each aspect contributes to an atmosphere filled with reverence and splendor. This engraving was originally featured in The Graphic magazine in June 1897, allowing readers a glimpse into this historical event over half a century after it took place. It serves as both a visual record and a testament to Britain's rich heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, we are reminded not only of its artistic merit but also its significance in capturing an important milestone for both royalty and national identity.
