EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Major General The Earl of Athlone, Alexander Cambridge, in 1937. A distinguished British military commander and major-general, he held significant positions as the Governor-General of the Union of South Africa and later as the Governor General of Canada. Born into royalty as the son of the Duke and Duchess of Teck, Prince Alexander married Princess Alice in 1904. The image captures a direct gaze from Major General Athlone against a striking black background. Dressed impeccably in his royal uniform, he exudes authority and elegance. This studio shot perfectly encapsulates the essence of a man dedicated to his profession. Published by RJ Lea Ltd in Manchester for Coronation Souvenir cigarette cards produced for Tournament Cigarettes, this particular card is numbered 19 out of a series of 48. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical piece that belongs to an era when Britain played a prominent role on the global stage. Preserved by The Print Collector29, this photograph serves as an important reminder not only of Major General Athlone's contributions but also represents an aristocratic lineage that shaped history during the early 20th century. It stands as both a testament to his remarkable career and an exquisite example from one collector's treasure trove.
