| Queen Alexandra's Christmas Gift Book "Photographs From My Camera" 1908 The Royal Collection |
For the Christmas of 1908, Queen Alexandra—wife of King Edward VII—allowed a collection of photographs that she had taken to be reproduced by The Daily Telegraph. Sales of the album, which was called, “Photographs From My Camera,” were to benefit charitable institutions. Copies of the album sold quite successfully and afforded the public an intimate look into the private lives of the Royal Family. This leaf, for example, shows two candid images of King Edward VII—one while deer-hunting in Scotland (top) and the other showing the King chatting with two members of the household staff.
