EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of George V, the King of Great Britain from 1910 until his passing in 1936. Born in 1865 as the second son, he unexpectedly ascended to the throne upon the death of his elder brother Albert, Duke of Clarence. In a union that would solidify his reign, George V married Princess Victoria Mary of Teck (later known as Queen Mary) in 1893. During World War I, this esteemed monarch displayed unwavering dedication to his nation by making numerous visits to the front lines. In a pivotal move towards national unity and loyalty during these tumultuous times, he renounced all German titles for himself and his family in 1917. This act also led to a significant change within the royal house itself; it transitioned from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (also referred to as Brunswick or Hanover) to Windsor. In this striking portrait, King George V exudes authority and dignity while donning an impressive uniform adorned with epaulettes. His majestic beard and distinguished mustache further enhance his commanding presence. The medals adorning his chest serve as symbols of honor and valor earned throughout his reign. This remarkable photograph is not just a visual representation of royalty but also serves as a testament to King George V's leadership during challenging times in British history.
