EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in British history - His Majesty, King George VI, inspecting the miniature railway at New Romney, Kent. The image was taken in both 1926 and 1937 by an unknown photographer and is featured in the book "George VI, King and Emperor" written by Major J. T. Gorman. In this snapshot from the past, we see a group of distinguished individuals gathered around the miniature railway. The Duke of York, who would later become King George VI after his brother's abdication in 1936, stands tall amongst them. Dressed impeccably in a suit befitting his royal status, he exudes regal authority as he takes on the role of inspector. The scene is filled with anticipation as an engine driver prepares for inspection while other men stand attentively nearby. This visit holds great significance not only for those involved but also for the people of Britain who eagerly awaited their monarch's approval. The print transports us back to a time when railways were not just modes of transportation but symbols of progress and innovation. It reminds us that even kings have responsibilities beyond their titles - they too must ensure that everything runs smoothly within their realm. As we gaze upon this historical image captured over eight decades ago, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by King George VI and his commitment to serving his nation with dignity and dedication.
