EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the grand opening of Sheffield University in July, 1905. In the foreground, King Edward VI and Queen Alexandra gracefully pose for the cameras, their regal presence adding an air of prestige and significance to the historic moment. Edward VI, the 6th Tudor monarch of England, is depicted in his royal robes, adorned with the insignia of his office. His queen, Alexandra of Denmark, wears an elegant gown and a magnificent diamond diadem, her expression radiant with joy and pride. The University, founded in 1905, is represented in the background through a series of inset portraits. These images offer a glimpse into the architectural beauty and academic spirit of the institution, with its distinctive coat of arms and impressive buildings. The photograph serves as a testament to the rich history of higher education in Sheffield and the enduring legacy of the British monarchy's role in shaping the city's intellectual landscape. This evocative image, taken in the early 1900s, captures the essence of a pivotal moment in Sheffield's history and the unity of the monarchy and academia. The portraits of Edward VI and Alexandra, their regal bearing and serene expressions, serve as a reminder of the profound impact of their presence on the city's educational journey.
