EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the front cover of The Sketch magazine from 18th May 1910. Created by artist SJ Beckett, it features a striking portrait of King George V, who ascended to the throne following the death of his father, Edward VII, on 6th May 1910. The image showcases the monarch in an informal setting as he indulges in one of life's simple pleasures - smoking a cigarette. The photograph exudes a sense of regality and power as King George V confidently lights his cigarette. His bearded face adds to his majestic presence, symbolizing strength and wisdom. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into British history during the early 20th century when monarchy held great significance. As we delve into this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness not only an iconic moment but also gain insight into the concept of royalty and its role within society. The composition serves as a reminder that even kings have moments of relaxation amidst their duties. Preserved by The Print Collector, this historical gem allows us to appreciate the legacy of King George V and his place within the House of Windsor. It is through such prints that we can connect with our past and understand how these figures shaped our present-day world.
