EDITORS COMMENTS
The King as Lawn-Tennis Player, 1926, (1937) captures a rare and delightful moment of leisure for the British monarch. In this print from 'The Crowning of The King and Queen', we see an unknown creator immortalizing a jovial game of tennis doubles at Wimbledon. The players are none other than Louis Greig and George IV, with their impeccable sportsmanship on full display. Dressed in traditional tennis attire of the era, both men exude elegance and grace as they engage in friendly competition. Albert Frederick Arthur George, known to history as King George VI, is seen here enjoying a respite from his royal duties alongside his trusted companion Louis Greig. Their camaraderie shines through as they engage in spirited rallies on the court. This image not only offers us a glimpse into the personal lives of these historical figures but also highlights their love for physical activity and recreation. It reminds us that even kings can find joy in simple pleasures like playing lawn tennis. Preserved within the pages of 'The Crowning of The King and Queen' by Evans Brothers Limited, London, this photograph serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Albert Frederick Arthur George's reign. It stands as a charming memento capturing an intimate moment between two friends amidst the grandeur of royalty.
