EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment in Scottish industrial history as Prince Albert, later King George VI of the United Kingdom, pays a visit to the bustling Hyde Park Locomotive Works in Glasgow, Scotland, in December 1919. Prince Albert, who would ascend to the throne in 1936, is seen here in a hands-on role, intently focusing on the task at hand as he drills a boiler. The future monarch's visit to the industrial suburbs of Glasgow was an opportunity for him to connect with the working people of Scotland and gain a firsthand understanding of the country's industrial prowess. Surrounded by workers in their overalls, Prince Albert demonstrates his support for the local industry, as he engages with the men and women who were instrumental in producing the locomotives that powered Scotland's economy. In the background, other workers are seen riveting and fitting components, adding to the sense of industry and productivity that permeates the scene. The Hyde Park Locomotive Works, which was not a commercial print company, played a significant role in the production of steam locomotives for the Scottish railway network. This photograph, taken during Prince Albert's visit, offers a unique glimpse into the past, revealing the close connection between the British monarchy and the industrial heart of Scotland.
