This striking photograph print, titled "The Three Royal Makers of Wembley," captures a historic moment in British history featuring King George V, Queen Mary, and the Prince of Wales (later known as Edward VIII) at the 1924 British Empire Exhibition in Wembley. The image, created by renowned Italian-born artist Fortunino Matania, showcases the royal family in their formal attire, with the King and Prince of Wales wearing their military uniforms as Presidents of the Exhibition. Queen Mary, dressed in elegant royal robes, stands proudly between her husband and eldest son, symbolizing her unwavering support and commitment to the British Empire. The trio's united presence at the Exhibition underscores their role as the patronage and embodiment of the nation's rich heritage and imperial power. The photograph, dated April 16, 1924, is a testament to the unity and strength of the British monarchy during a pivotal period in the empire's history. Fortunino Matania's masterful composition and attention to detail bring the image to life, making it a treasured piece of historical documentation and artistic expression.
