EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history - the Restoration of the Greek Monarchy in November 1935. Taken by an English photographer, this image showcases King George II (1890-1947) leaving London after his reinstatement as the King of Greece. The scene is set at a bustling train station, where a steam engine stands ready to transport the monarch back to his homeland. Onlookers gather on the platform, eagerly awaiting their last glimpse of royalty before departure. Amongst them are women wearing elegant hats, adding a touch of sophistication to the atmosphere. The crowd exudes excitement and joy, celebrating this momentous occasion with cheering and waving gestures. The Prince of Wales can be seen among the spectators, showing support for his fellow royal counterpart. This photograph not only captures a historical event but also highlights the power and influence that monarchy holds over its people. It serves as a reminder of how deeply rooted traditions can shape nations and evoke strong emotions within individuals. Preserved in private collection since its capture during the 1930s, this image offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but still resonating with significance today. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of both our fascination with history and our desire to celebrate moments that define our collective identity.
