About 28 postcards bearing the image of British King Edward VIII as king and as the Prince of Wales. Edward was born in 1894 during the reign of Queen Victoria, his great-grandmother. He was created Prince of Wales on his sixteenth birthday. He ascended to the throne on the death of his father, King George V in January of 1936. By the end of that year he had abdicated the throne in order to marry twice-divorced, American socialite Wallis Simpson. His brother George VI (father of Elizabeth II, the current monarch) succeeded him. This lot of postcards portrays Edward as a youth, as the Prince of Wales, and as king. God save the king!
