Scarce Christmas card from 1907 featuring a color image of a seaside scene on the front, measuring 3.25 x 5.75 closed, signed inside beneath a printed poem by the young future kings, Edward VIII, “Edward,” and George VI, “Albert,” as well as their brother Prince Henry, “Henry.” Scattered foxing inside and the binding ribbon present but frayed, otherwise fine condition. At the time of signing, Edward was 13 years old, Albert was 12, and Henry was 7. Upon becoming king in 1937, Albert assumed the regnal name ‘George VI’ to emphasize continuity with his father and restore confidence in the monarchy. Early items such as this are quite rare and highly sought after. RR Auction COA.
