EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Princess Mary, President of the Girl Guides in 1923. As the only daughter of King George V and Queen Mary, Princess Mary held this esteemed position from 1920 until her passing in 1965. The image captures her radiant smile as she proudly wears her Girl Guides uniform, adorned with a feathered hat and gloves. The three-finger salute depicted in the photograph holds great significance for both Guides and Scouts alike. It serves as a reminder of their three-fold promise: to honor God and the King, to help others, and to obey the Scout Law. This timeless gesture symbolizes their unwavering commitment to these principles. Princess Mary's impact on the organization is evident through her wedding gifts received in 1922. A staggering number of presents were given by an astounding 215,000 Guides and Brownies from across the British Empire. Her dedication to guiding was truly remarkable. This color lithograph is part of Ansties Gold Flake Cigarettes' Scout Series cigarette cards collection. Produced during the early twentieth century, it beautifully illustrates Princess Mary's influential role within scouting history. As we admire this historic snapshot, let us remember Princess Mary's legacy as a trailblazer for young girls everywhere who strive to make a positive difference in their communities while upholding values that guide them throughout life.
