EDITORS COMMENTS
The King and Queen Arriving at the Leopardstown Races, Dublin, July 1911" is a captivating print that captures a significant moment in history. In this monochrome image from 1936, we witness the arrival of King George V and Queen Mary at the renowned Leopardstown races in Dublin. The royal couple's horse-drawn carriage gracefully makes its way through a cheering crowd, showcasing the grandeur and elegance associated with their presence. King George V was born into royalty in 1865 and ascended to the throne in 1910 after his father's passing. Throughout his reign, he made notable contributions to British politics by appointing Ramsay MacDonald as Britain's first Labour Prime Minister and introducing the tradition of broadcasting a Christmas message to the people. Tragically, King George V succumbed to influenza on January 20th, 1936. His eldest son Edward succeeded him as monarch. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of an era marked by both triumphs and challenges for the House of Windsor. The image not only showcases historical figures but also provides insight into early twentieth-century transportation with its depiction of horse-drawn carriages on race day. It encapsulates the excitement surrounding horse racing as a popular sport during that time. Preserved by Heritage Images, this remarkable print allows us to delve into an important chapter in British history while admiring its artistic composition captured by an unknown creator alongside HW Wilson's introduction from "His Majesty The King.
