    I have noticed that the link for the catalog record needs to be modified to work. The other thing is that I hope that you add this photograph to one of the existing albums of Jessie Tarbox :)
  • Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America said:
    Hi Talal,
    Thanks for letting us know about the link! I'll add the photo to an album now. We're planning to add more Jessie Tarbox Beals photos in the future.

Instrument of Abdication

    Edward abdicated from the throne on 11 December 1936 and in his speach to the nation famously said "I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as king as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love."

    Although he was legally entitled to marry Wallis Simpson, Edward knew that if he did, the current Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin, would resign and throw the country into a general election, thus removing the political impartiality of the monarchy.

    He is the only monarch of either Britain or the Commonwealth who has chosen to Abdicate, and at 325 days, his reign is one of the shortest in any of his countries.

    Edward was also never crowned king.
