EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases George V, the King of the United Kingdom from 1910. Taken around 1936, this image captures a side view of the monarch, displaying his distinguished profile and regal presence. George V succeeded his father, Edward VII, as king and played a significant role in British history. During World War I, as anti-German sentiment grew stronger, George V made a pivotal decision to change the name of the Royal Family from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to the House of Windsor in 1917. This move aimed to distance themselves from their German heritage and align with British sentiments during wartime. The photograph is featured in "Winston Churchill: His Life in Pictures" by Ben Tucker, published by Sagall Press Ltd. London in 1945. The image portrays George V wearing a naval uniform that reflects his connection with Britain's armed forces. With its monochrome aesthetic capturing every detail flawlessly, this portrait exudes an air of dignity befitting royalty. It serves as a powerful reminder of an era marked by war and transformation within both Britain's monarchy and society at large.
