King George V. of Hanover, 1876. Creator: Unknown
King George V. of Hanover, 1876. Engraving from a photograph by Tagerspacher, of Gmunden. Although born at Berlin, we cannot regard King George as anything but an Englishman. Closely allied by family and the kingdom he has lost, a Prince of the United Kingdom and first cousin to the Queen, an English Duke and an Irish Earl, and now a General in the British Army, the ruler of a kingdom which gave us Kings, and whose soldiers fought our Continental battles, the link of connection between the King of Hanover and England is very close indeed...There is scarcely a family of note which has not paid homage to the dethroned Monarch, as the visitors registers and audience-lists at his Majesty's hotel will attest; and the people everywhere cheer him as one of our own Royal family...His Majesty is blind, but is a man of high mental culture, and a great lover of music'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "King George V of Hanover, 1876: A British Monarch in Exile" This photographic engraving, created by the German artist Tagerspacher in 1876, depicts King George V of Hanover, who was born in Berlin but is deeply connected to England. As a Prince of the United Kingdom, first cousin to Queen Victoria, an English Duke, and an Irish Earl, King George's ties to England are undeniable. His kingdom, which once gave us kings and provided soldiers for our continental battles, further strengthens the bond between the deposed monarch and the English people. Despite being blind, King George V is a man of high mental culture and a great lover of music. His regal presence has been warmly welcomed by the British public, with numerous notable families paying their respects. The visitors' registers and audience lists at his hotel are a testament to the affection and admiration he has garnered. The image captures King George V wearing a military uniform, complete with sideboards and a medal adorned chest. His regal demeanor and distinguished facial hair add to the aura of nobility and power that emanates from the portrait. This engraving is a poignant reminder of the close connection between the King of Hanover and England, a bond that transcends borders and family ties. From the pages of the esteemed "Illustrated London News," this photographic engraving offers a glimpse into the life of a monarch in exile, whose story continues to captivate and inspire.
