220652/6/02. <p>The Edwardian Era lasted from the Queen Victoria's death on January 22 1901 to King Edward’s VII’s death in 1910. It has often been described as a golden sunlit afternoon -personified by its genial and self-indulgent King with the cares of world war still not visible on the horizon. The appeal of the Edwardian Era is wide and the subject of such tributes as Downton Abbey. Wealth was abundant and nearly income tax-free; society was no longer a small exclusive circle confined to those of aristocratic birth but open to more and more people; the arts theater opera ballet painting literature music etc produced genius and modern movements; travel was cheap and easy; and the technological advances were thrilling and amazing. Einstein was an Edwardian and promulgated his Special Theory of Relativity in 1905. So were the Wright Brothers who invented the airplane in 1903. The overall image of the Edwardian age is that of an era of opulence but it was also an era of change where the rumble of automobiles and planes champagne and lavish ocean liners the frenetic syncopation of ragtime and the pomp of the aristocracy and royalty coexisted with civil rights and independence movements Socialism immigration and technological advances .</p><p>Edward was born at 10:48 in the morning on November 9 1841 in Buckingham Palace. He was the eldest son and second child of Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. He was heir apparent during the long reign of his mother Victoria who presided over an era that now carries her name from 1837 to 1901 an extraordinary length of time. All in all Victoria ruled during the reign of 17 American presidents.</p><p>In 1860 Edward undertook the first tour of North America by a Prince of Wales. Vast crowds greeted him everywhere. He met Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Ralph Waldo Emerson and Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. Prayers for the royal family were said in Trinity Church New York for the first time since 1776.</p><p><strong>Document signed</strong> June 2 1902 King Edward VII addressed to John Savile Lord Savile summoning him to the King's coronation to be held on the 26th day of that month countersigned by the Duke of Norfolk.

4287742 sides black edged folio with superb purple velvet binding with embossed Royal Coat of Arms in colour and gilt purple watered silk endpapers gilt dentelles London 17th May These sumptuously bound copies would only have been issued to members of the Royal Family & Household. For two days after the King's death 14th-15th May the coffin lay in state in the throne room at Buckingham Palace and there it was visited privately by relatives friends and acquaintances. On 17th May the coffin was removed in ceremonial procession to Westminster Hall and there it lay publicly in state for four days. Some 350000 persons attended. The interment took place on 20th May. The procession passed from Westminster Hall to Paddington station and thence by train to Windsor. After the funeral service in St. George's Chapel the coffin was lowered to the vault below. Besides the members of the king's family the chief mourners included the German emperor the king's nephew the king of Norway his son-in-law and the kings of Denmark and Greece his brothers-in-law. Four other kings were present those of Spain Bulgaria Portugal and Belgium together with the heirs to the thrones of Austria Turkey Roumania Servia and Montenegro. There were also kinsmen of other rulers the prince consort of the Netherlands Grand Duke Michael of Russia and the duke of Aosta. The American republic had a special envoy in Mr. Roosevelt lately president and the French republic in M. Pichon minister for foreign affairs. No more representative assembly of the sovereignty of Europe had yet gathered in one place. The exclusively military character of the ceremonial excited some adverse comment but all classes took part in memorial services and demonstrations of mourning not only in London and the provinces but throughout the empire and the world. In India Hindus and Mohammedans formally celebrated funeral rites. unknown
