EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a young Prince George of Wales, later known as King George V, during his time as the Duke of York from 1890 to 1893. The future monarch served with great dedication in the Royal Navy for over a decade until his naval career was abruptly cut short by a tragic event. Prince George's elder brother, Prince Albert Victor, passed away, thrusting him into second in line to the throne after their father. This turn of events marked a significant shift in his life and destiny. In this portrait, we see Prince George standing confidently on deck wearing an impeccable naval uniform adorned with epaulettes. His hat sits proudly atop his head while he gazes thoughtfully into the distance. The chromolithograph technique used to create this print adds depth and vibrancy to every detail. The image not only showcases Prince George's military prowess but also hints at the weighty responsibilities that awaited him as king. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals who dedicate themselves to serving their country and fulfilling their duty. Preserved through time, this remarkable photograph offers us a glimpse into history—a moment frozen forever that encapsulates both personal ambition and royal lineage. As we admire this stunning piece from Her Majesty's Navy Including its Deeds and Battles by Lieut Chas Rathbone Low, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by King George V and his contributions to Great Britain.
