EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a poignant moment in time as King George VI (1895-1952), the sixth monarch of that name, delivers his first wartime address to the nation over the airwaves on September 3, 1939. The day marked the declaration of war between Britain and Germany, signaling the beginning of the Second World War (1939-1945). Surrounded by the solemnity of the royal setting, the King dons his naval uniform, symbolizing the naval power of the British Empire. His speech, delivered with the help of his speech therapist, Lionel Logue, was a unifying call to the British public, urging them to remain steadfast in the face of adversity. The image, taken during the 1930s, captures the gravity and resolve of the monarch as he addresses the nation, marking a pivotal moment in the history of the United Kingdom.
