Savage Club Prince of Wales Edward VII Huge Double-Folio 1880s Antique Print

Description: You are bidding on a huge original antique print from an 1880s illustrated journal. It depicts the Price of Wales (later Edward VII) speaking at the Savage Club. The Savage Club, founded in 1857, is a gentlemen's club in London. An associated Masonic lodge was established in 1887. Edward VII (Albert Edward; 9 November 1841 – 6 May 1910) was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions and Emperor of India from 22 January 1901 until his death in 1910. The eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Edward was related to royalty throughout Europe. Before his accession to the throne, he served as heir apparent and held the title of Prince of Wales for longer than any of his predecessors. It is very large (double folio size), measuring approximately 22 x 16 inches (56 x 40.5 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below. The back of the print is blanks, which means it was probably a rare supplement to the journal. The print has a fold in the middle, where it was folded into the magazine long ago. Note that the fold line is clean and undamaged, because it was "tipped" into the binding. This was a luxury binding technique of that era, because the double page prints were free of binding holes down the center.The page is in excellent condition for its age. See scan for an accurate view of the condition. This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
