The Royal Arrival at Ascot, c1930s
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph, we witness a momentous occasion as King George V, Queen Mary, and their two sons make a grand entrance at the prestigious Ascot racecourse. The year is somewhere in the 1930s, an era of elegance and regality. The royal family exudes grace and poise as they arrive in a magnificent horse-drawn carriage. King George V sits tall with his top hat while Queen Mary radiates sophistication under her parasol. Their sons, Prince Henry (Duke of Gloucester) and the Prince of Wales (the future King Edward VIII), stand beside them in dapper attire. This historical illustration comes from "George V and Edward VIII: A Royal Souvenir" a commemorative book published after King George V's passing when Edward was crowned king. It captures not only the essence of royalty but also the spirit of British tradition. As onlookers eagerly await the start of horse racing festivities, this image showcases both familial bonds and societal expectations during that time period. It serves as a testament to fatherhood and motherhood within the royal family while highlighting their role as symbols of national pride. With its timeless appeal, this print by FGH Salusbury transports us back to an era where style met substance—a glimpse into Britain's rich history through one unforgettable moment at Ascot racecourse.
