EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment when King George V, freshly acceded to the British throne, embarks on his first morning ride through Hyde Park in Central London. The black mare, favored by the monarch, carries him gracefully away from the park, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the tranquility of the early morning hours. King George V is seen wearing a bowler hat, a common attire for the monarch during horseback rides, while his courtiers, Sir William Carrington and Lord Charles Fitzmaurice, accompany him on foot. Both men, dressed in aristocratic attire and wearing top hats, serve as royal equerries, responsible for the care and management of the royal horses and stables. The image, taken in 1910, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the British monarchy and the aristocracy, as well as the daily routines and traditions of the royal court. The photograph is a testament to the enduring symbolism of the monarch on horseback, representing power, grace, and the connection between the monarchy and the land.
