Edward VII
The Edwardian Era Dawns as the Victorian Era Closes: A Summons to the Coronation of Victoria's Son Edward VII Signed by Him as King
2/6/02. <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. Savile was a large landowner diplomat and noted sportsman.</p> unknown

HARRISON, BUCKWORTH-HERNE-SOAME, RADFORD HOUSE, EDWARD VII
Grant of arms donated by Alfred Scott Scott-Galty Garter Principal King-of Arms and William Henry Weldon Esq. Norroy to George Buckworth-Herne-Soame formerly Harrison 1872-1912.
British Empire London d.d. 18 November 1907. Vellum charter good condition. 60x52 cm. Manuscript text and calligraphy with 4 hand coloured coats-of-arms amongst which that of Harrison. With the orginal signatures of the mentioned officials and their wax seals in two disc shaped copper casings. Encased in a made to fit oblong wooden case with metal closing mechanism and clothed with red linen decorated in gold with EVIIR initials and crowns. George Day Harrison 1872-1912 obtained a Royal licence which is included in this lot to change his name to Buckworth-Herne-Soame. The Harrison coat of arms had therefore to be changed into a combination of the Harrison and Buckworth-Herne-Soame coats of arms. This grant of arms officially changes the coat of arms. George Buckworth-Herne-Soame was apparently chief engineer of the South Potteries Water Works Company in Staffordshire although the grant of arms mentiones that he is lieutenant colonel of the Staffordshire Artillery Volunteers. The coat-of-arms bears the family motto: de mieulx je pense en mieulx. The grant explains that Harrison lives in Radford House in the parish of Stone in de county of Stafford. He married Evelyn the second daughter of Sir Charles Buckworth-Herne-Soame Baronet late of Sheen in the county of Surrey. H97 hardcover
