A young boy in a dark riding habit and cap sits astride a pony on a gravel path, with a clipped hedge and a building's windows behind him. The card's own caption identifies him as "H.R.H. Prince Edward of Wales, Our Future Sovereign" — the future King Edward VIII (born 1894), shown here as a child. Such portrait cards of the royal children were popular souvenirs in Britain during the first decade of the twentieth century.
Black-and-white halftone print with a thin white border; worn and chipped corners, edge wear and a faint horizontal crease across the middle.
