This evocative photograph, published in the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News on 28th November 1925, captures a moment in time as Her Majesty Queen Alexandra inspects the hounds at the West Norfolk Hunt Puppy Show. Dressed in a elegant fur-trimmed coat and hat, the Queen, who was the wife of King Edward VII and the mother of King George V, displays an air of regal grace and interest as she examines each pup with the assistance of a huntsman. The setting, Barwick Stanhoe, adds to the scene's authenticity, with the grandstand and spectators in the background, creating a sense of occasion and tradition. The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News was a popular weekly publication during the 1920s, known for its coverage of society, sports, and drama.

The image is a valuable historical record, providing insight into the social customs and pastimes of the 1920s, and serves as a poignant reminder of Queen Alexandra's significant place in British history. The photograph, with its timeless composition and intriguing subject matter, is a must-have for any collection focused on 1920s society, royalty, or hunting. It is a captivating portrait that transports us back to a bygone era and offers a glimpse into the world of the past.
