EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a young and dashing Edward, Prince of Wales, during his visit to the National Exhibition in Brisbane, Australia, in 1920. The Prince, who was the eldest son of King George V and Queen Mary, is seen here in casual attire, wearing a tweed jacket and holding a walking stick, as he engages with a group of women and men admirers. A large wolfhound, a breed favored by the Royal Family, lies at the Prince's feet, adding to the lively and friendly atmosphere of the scene. The National Exhibition in Brisbane, which took place from January to May 1920, was a significant cultural event in Queensland's history.
