EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, His Majesty King George V (1865-1936) is seen donning traditional Scottish attire, complete with a kilt, sporran, and sgian-dubh (a small knife worn in the hose), as he poses with Caesar (1898-1914), the beloved Wire Fox Terrier of his late father, King Edward VII. The image, taken around 1912, showcases the monarch's regal presence and affectionate bond with his pet. King George V ascended to the throne in 1910, following the death of his father. He was deeply influenced by Scottish heritage, as his mother, Queen Victoria, was born in Scotland, and his father was a keen admirer of Scottish traditions. The Scottish attire in this photograph reflects his connection to the country and its rich history. Caesar, a favorite of King Edward VII, was a constant companion to the royal family. The terrier's presence in this photograph adds a touch of warmth and familiarity to the image, highlighting the human-animal bond that transcends social status. The Wire Fox Terrier breed, known for its distinctive wiry coat and energetic demeanor, was a popular choice among the British aristocracy during this era. Caesar's inclusion in the photograph underscores the significance of pets in the lives of the royal family and the broader British society during this time. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the personal side of King George V and his relationship with Caesar, providing a fascinating insight into the lives of the British monarchy during the early 20th century.
