EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of a programme from a momentous event in Sheffield's history - the visit of their Royal Highnesses, the Prince and Princess of Wales, to inaugurate the Edgar Allen Library in 1909. Preserved at Sheffield Local Studies MP 2587 M, this rare artifact offers a glimpse into an era when grand openings were celebrated with utmost pomp and splendor. The image exudes regality as it features intricate details on the programme cover that bear witness to this prestigious occasion. The elegant typography proudly announces the royal visit, while ornate embellishments symbolize nobility and grace. This historical gem serves as a testament to Sheffield's commitment to education and its recognition by esteemed figures such as George V, who later became King. The opening ceremony for the Edgar Allen Library marked not only an important milestone for Sheffield University but also highlighted its dedication to fostering knowledge within its walls. Universities have always been vital centers of learning, nurturing young minds and shaping future generations. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Sheffield City Archives, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment when royalty graced our city with their presence. It reminds us of our rich heritage and how far we have come since then. Let us cherish these memories as they inspire us towards continued growth and progress in education for all.
