EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures a moment in time from the early 1900s, featuring King George V and Queen Mary with their children: Prince Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI); Princess Victoria, Princess Royal and Princess Elizabeth; Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester; and Prince John, Duke of Windsor (later King Edward VIII). The image exudes an air of regal elegance and familial warmth, as the royal family gathers around a lantern slide projector, likely enjoying a private moment of entertainment in the comfort of their home. King George V (1865-1936) and Queen Mary (1867-1953) were married in 1893 and ruled the United Kingdom from 1910 until George's death in 1936. Their children's lives were marked by significant events, including Albert's accession to the throne in 1936, Victoria's marriage to Prince Albert, Duke of Fife, in 1937, and John's abdication in 1936, leading to the reign of their nephew, King George VI. The photograph is a beautiful example of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, with the family dressed in the fashionable attire of the time. The lantern slide projector, a popular form of entertainment during this period, adds an intriguing element to the scene, showcasing the family's connection to the advancements in technology during their time. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, from which this photograph is sourced, is a treasure trove of historical images, offering a glimpse into the lives of the past. This particular photograph is a poignant reminder of the human side of royalty, as we see the King and Queen interacting with their children in a relaxed and playful setting.
