EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken in 1935, we see a group of people gathered around railings, engrossed in reading the bulletins about King George V's last illness. The scene is set against a wintry backdrop, with snow-covered ground and bundled-up individuals braving the cold. Among them stands a woman wearing an elegant hat and fur coat, her eyes fixed on the news she holds in her hands. Her attire reflects the fashion of the era, while her serious expression hints at the gravity of the situation unfolding before her. This image captures a moment in history when Britain awaited updates on their beloved monarch's health. It serves as a poignant reminder of how deeply connected people were to their royal family during that time. The publication from which this illustration originates was released shortly after King George V's passing and his son Edward VIII's ascension to the throne. It aimed to commemorate these significant events for future generations. Through FGH Salusbury's lens, we are transported back to an era where news traveled slowly but had immense impact on society. This photograph not only documents an important chapter in British history but also evokes emotions of concern and anticipation felt by those who relied on these bulletins for information about their king's well-being. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with royalty and our connection to historical moments that shape nations.
