EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a young and dashing Prince Edward, later known as King Edward VIII and then the Duke of Windsor, during his Canadian tour in 1919. The Prince, who would go on to become the King of England in 1936 before abdicating the throne, is seen here in his element on a hunting trip at Qu Appelle Lake. Dressed in the traditional attire of a hunter, complete with tweed jacket, cap, and holding a shotgun, Edward exudes confidence and a sense of adventure. The backdrop of the serene Qu Appelle Lake, located in the picturesque province of Saskatchewan, adds to the idyllic scene. The Prince's visit to Canada was an important one, as it marked his first major solo tour as the Prince of Wales, and helped to strengthen the relationship between Canada and the British monarchy. The photograph is a testament to Edward's love for the outdoors and his passion for hunting, which he had developed during his childhood in Scotland. The image also serves as a reminder of a bygone era, when royalty and nobility would embark on grand hunting trips as a way to connect with nature and bond with their subjects. Taken in 1919, this photograph is a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in the life of a future King, and a fascinating glimpse into the past.
