EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment as King George V and Queen Mary embark on a boat for their journey back home. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image showcases the royal couple's departure after what must have been a significant event or occasion. The photo exudes elegance and grandeur, with Queen Mary dressed in her regal attire, wearing a uniform that reflects her status. The ship stands tall behind them, ready to carry them across the waters towards their destination. It is evident that this voyage holds great importance, perhaps marking the end of an era or symbolizing unity during challenging times. As we delve into the context surrounding this image, it becomes apparent that it was taken during World War I. The mention of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha indicates George V's German heritage before he changed his family name to Windsor due to anti-German sentiment during the war. Intriguingly, this photograph not only captures a historical moment but also serves as a testament to human resilience amidst conflict. It reminds us of how even those in positions of power were affected by global events and had to navigate through uncertain times. Preserved by the National Army Museum in London, this print allows us to glimpse into history and appreciate both its beauty and significance.
