EDITORS COMMENTS
King George V's Jolly Outing at Cowes Week, 1927: A Bystander Cover Portrait This iconic image captures King George V (1865-1936) in a light-hearted moment during the Cowes Regatta in 1927. The monarch, dressed in full sailor attire, dons a striped cap and a jovial expression, as if he's had one too many sherries. The King's relaxed demeanor and nautical attire reflect his love for the sea and sailing, a pastime he enjoyed throughout his life. The photograph graced the front cover of The Bystander magazine in 1927, offering a unique glimpse into the personal life of the monarch. The image's casual setting, combined with the King's approachable smile, helped to humanize the monarchy and connect with the public. The photograph is a testament to King George V's enduring popularity and his ability to engage with the British people. The nautical theme, reminiscent of the annual Cowes Week regatta, adds to the image's charm and timeless appeal. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection of royal portraits or maritime history. The King's jolly outing at Cowes Week serves as a reminder of the monarch's love for the sea and his commitment to connecting with his subjects.
