EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of The Prince of Wales, who would later ascend to become King George V. Taken around 1900 by the talented artist JS Virtue, this portrait showcases a young and confident future monarch. George V's reign from 1910 to 1936 marked significant milestones in British history. Notably, he appointed Ramsay MacDonald as Britain's first Labour Prime Minister in 1924, demonstrating his commitment to political progress and inclusivity. In addition, he introduced the tradition of broadcasting a Christmas message to the people in 1932, fostering a sense of unity and connection during festive times. The image portrays King George V with an air of authority and wisdom. His direct gaze exudes strength while his military uniform signifies his role as both ruler and protector. The Victorian-era attire adds an element of historical charm to this timeless portrait. Tragically, King George V succumbed to influenza on January 20th, 1936. His passing marked the end of an era but also paved the way for his eldest son Edward's succession to the throne. JS Virtue masterfully captured not only the physical likeness but also the essence of this influential figure through their artistic lens. This print serves as a poignant reminder of King George V's legacy as well as a testament to Virtue's skillful craftsmanship.
