For Sale is a Full Page taken from "The Sphere," May 14th, 1910, showing a Photograph of "King Edward the Seventh as a Russian Dragoon."

King Edward was intimately associated with Russia through the fact that Queen Alexandra is a sister of the ex- Czarina, the mother of Czar Nicholas II., who was King Edward's nephew and a cousin of King George, to whom he bears a striking resemblance. King Edward was Admiral in the Greek, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish navies ; Field-Marshal in the Austrian and German armies ; Captain-General of the Spanish army ; General in the Norwegian and Swedish armies ; Colonel-in-Chief of the 1st Prussian Dragoon Guards and 5th Pomeranian Blucher Hussars ; Honorary Colonel of 12th Austrian Hussars, the Danish Hussars of the guard, 3rd Portugese Cavalry, the 8th Zamora Regiment of Spanish Infantry, and the 27th Russian Dragoons, in which uniform his late Majesty is seen above.
