Caption: The Illustrious Life and Legacy of the Duke of Teck In this captivating collection of images, we catch glimpses into the remarkable life of Francis, Duke of Teck. Pictured in a regal portrait by WS Stuart circa 1895, the duke exudes an air of dignity and nobility. The farewell banquet held at Hotel Metropole in November saw members of the United Service Club bidding adieu to the esteemed Duke of Cambridge. Presiding over this grand event was HRH Prince Wales himself, seated as chairman. Another significant moment captured is the reopening ceremony for St Saviours Church in Southwark, now transformed into a magnificent cathedral for South London. An engraving immortalizes this historic occasion. The Institute of Painters in Water-Colours also witnessed a momentous event with its new building being inaugurated by none other than the Prince Wales. A royal party inspecting exquisite artwork adds to the splendor depicted in another enchanting engraving. During times when patriotism soared high, an exhibition was organized at Humphreys Hall in Knightsbridge to support Egypt during war. This engraved image showcases people coming together for a noble cause. A heartwarming scene unfolds as we witness Prince Wales graciously receiving guests during The Opening Festival at Gordon Boys Home—an establishment close to his heart—depicted beautifully through an engraving. Amongst these joyous occasions lies one that evokes both awe and solemnity—the coronation ceremony honoring King George V and Queen Mary. A color lithograph captures their majestic crowning moment forever etched in history. Sadly, our journey takes us to mournful moments too; we pay tribute to the late Duke of Teck through a black-and-white photograph that preserves his memory with reverence. White Lodge becomes host to yet another memorable event—a royal christening attended by distinguished guests on a summer day in July—as illustrated through an elegant engraving capturing this cherished occasion.
