EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret are seen immersed in the wonders of ancient history at the British Museum, accompanied by their beloved grandmother, Queen Mary, and the Museum's Director, Sir John Forsdyke. The year is 1937, and the young princesses, both future monarchs, are on the cusp of childhood, their eyes wide with curiosity and fascination. The scene unfolds in the grand halls of the British Museum, filled with an array of antiquities from around the world. The girls, dressed in elegant attire, stand before the Rosetta Stone, a significant historical artifact that played a crucial role in deciphering the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. The presence of Sir John Forsdyke adds an air of authority and knowledge, as he explains the significance of the stone to the young royals. Queen Mary, a keen supporter of education and the arts, is seen in the background, her expression filled with pride and delight as she watches her granddaughters engage with the rich history surrounding them. The photograph captures a precious moment in time, as the future monarchs are introduced to the world of antiquities and the importance of preserving and understanding the past. The girls' visit to the British Museum is a testament to the educational value of museums and the role they play in shaping the minds of future generations. Surrounded by the grandeur of the Lamassu guardians and the vast collection of ancient artifacts, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret are given a glimpse into the vast and fascinating world of human history, a legacy that continues to inspire and captivate visitors to this day.
