EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases King George V of Great Britain, taken in 1912 by the talented artist Downey. King George V reigned over Great Britain from 1910 until his untimely death in 1936. Known for his significant contributions to British history, he appointed Ramsay MacDonald as the country's first Labour Prime Minister in 1924 and introduced the tradition of broadcasting a Christmas message to the people in 1932. In this colorized black and white portrait, we see King George V seated on an elegant chair, exuding regal authority. His bearded face reflects wisdom and experience, while his royal attire symbolizes his position as a monarch. The photograph was originally published in "Imperial Cricket" edited by P F Warner and published by The London and Counties Press Association Ltd. King George V's reign marked a transformative period for Great Britain, witnessing both political changes within the government and advancements in communication with the introduction of radio broadcasts. Tragically, he succumbed to influenza on January 20th, 1936. He was succeeded by his eldest son Edward. This remarkable image not only captures an iconic moment in British history but also highlights the artistic prowess of Downey as well as PF Warner's contribution to preserving such historical records through publication. It serves as a testament to King George V's enduring legacy within the House of Windsor and his impact on shaping modern-day Britain.
