EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the year 1913 with this vintage print capturing the Visit of King George V to Rawtenstall. The image showcases a momentous occasion as crowds line the streets, waving flags and bunting in anticipation of the royal arrival.
The early Victorian architecture of Lancashire's Rossendale district provides a picturesque backdrop for this historic event. Lantern slides like these were a popular form of entertainment during this era, allowing people to experience far-off places and important moments from the comfort of their own homes.
As one of Britain's most beloved monarchs, King George V was known for his strong sense of duty and commitment to his people. His official visits were always met with great enthusiasm, as evidenced by the sea of faces eagerly awaiting his presence in Rawtenstall that day.
This photograph is not just a glimpse into history, but a reminder of the enduring legacy of British royalty. It serves as a testament to the unity and pride felt by citizens across the country when celebrating their sovereign.
The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has preserved this precious moment for future generations to appreciate and reflect upon. Let yourself be transported back in time through this snapshot from over a century ago.
