EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print showcases the Royal Coat of Arms of King George V, one of the most iconic and historically significant emblems of the British monarchy. The arms are quartered, reflecting the monarch's role as the ruler of multiple kingdoms: England, Scotland, and Ireland. In the first and fourth quarters, we see the traditional English lions passant guardant in pale, representing England's strength and courage. The second quarter displays the Scottish lion rampant within a tressure flory counter-flory, symbolizing Scotland's independence and the interlaced knots representing the unity of the Scottish people. The third quarter features the Irish harp, its strings argent against an azure background, representing the ancient Gaelic culture and heritage of Ireland. The shield is encircled by the Garter, an order of chivalry founded by Edward III in 1348, with the motto "Honi soit qui mal y pense," which translates to "Shame on him who thinks evil of it." The crest above the shield is a lion statant guardant crowned, symbolizing the monarch's power and authority. The two supporters, a lion and a unicorn, represent England and Scotland, respectively. The lion, crowned and guardant, symbolizes England's courage and strength, while the unicorn, argent, horned, mained, ungled, and tufted or, gorged with a coronet and chained also or, represents Scotland's purity and innocence. The motto "Dieu et mon droit," which translates to "God and my right," signifies the monarch's divine right to rule. This beautiful print, dating back to circa 1910, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history and symbolism of the British monarchy during the reign of King George V.
