EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the 1930s, a time when King George V bestowed knighthood upon Vice-Admiral Pakenham aboard HMS Princess Royal. The image captures a moment of great significance as the monarch himself knights the distinguished naval officer. Dressed in their immaculate uniforms, both men exude an air of authority and honor. The king stands tall with his regal attire while holding a sword, symbolizing power and chivalry. Vice-Admiral Pakenham kneels before him, displaying utmost respect and loyalty to his sovereign. The scene is filled with historical context as it was captured for "George V and Edward VIII: A Royal Souvenir" a commemorative book published during Edward VIII's coronation after the passing of his father. This print serves as a timeless reminder of the royal lineage that has shaped British history. The composition beautifully showcases the intricate details of their headgear, medals adorning their chests, and even the texture on their swords. It transports us into an era where warfare at sea played a crucial role in shaping nations. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time by FGH Salusbury's lens, we cannot help but marvel at its significance within our rich heritage. It reminds us of the unwavering dedication displayed by those who served under King George V's reign and pays homage to one man's exceptional achievements within Britain's esteemed naval forces.
