EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion during World War I, as Queen Mary of Teck visits an aerodrome shed at the Royal Flying Corps Headquarters in St. Omer, France on July 5, 1917. The image showcases the historical significance of this visit, with Queen Mary graciously departing from the aerodrome amidst a backdrop of military personnel and vehicles.
Queen Mary's presence at the aerodrome sheds light on her unwavering support for the armed forces during a time of great turmoil and uncertainty. Her role as a symbol of strength and unity is evident in this photograph, as she engages in conversations and handshakes with military officials.
The black and white aesthetic adds to the timeless quality of this image, transporting viewers back to a pivotal moment in history. The attention to detail captured by George Graham Bain highlights not only Queen Mary's regal presence but also the intricate workings of wartime operations.
