EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a significant moment in British history - the presentation of West London mayors and mayoresses to King George V and Queen Mary during their Silver Jubilee in 1935. The image, taken by FGH Salusbury, showcases the elegance and grandeur of the occasion. In this print, we see a group of dignified individuals dressed in formal attire. The men don smart suits while the women wear exquisite gowns befitting such an important event. The mayor's uniform adds an air of authority to his presence. The focus is on one particular woman who curtsies gracefully before the royal couple. Her gesture symbolizes respect and loyalty towards her sovereigns. Surrounding her are other attendees, both male and female, eagerly awaiting their turn for an audience with the king and queen. This photograph not only serves as a visual record but also reflects the societal norms of that era. It highlights gender roles as well as class distinctions within British society during the early 20th century. FGH Salusbury's skillful composition captures a moment frozen in time - a testament to Britain's rich heritage and its enduring monarchy. This print from "A Royal Souvenir" provides us with a glimpse into a bygone era when royalty held immense influence over its subjects' lives.
