Amidst the grandeur of Great Britain, a Royal Coat of Arms bearing the image of King George V (DDE-90022306) stands proudly, its intricate design a testament to the rich history of the monarchy. Nearby, a chromolitho print of The Prince of Wales from 1862 adds to the regal atmosphere. But the scene is not without a touch of whimsy - a coloured engraving of "Bother these loose stones. Oh lack-a-daisy me." hints at the human side of the royal family. A doorway with the Order of the Garter motto above, "Il est d'usage que ce soit toujours avec le plus," adds an air of tradition and solemnity. And in the corner, a call to action for France to be victorious and a subscription invitation for the Fourth Employment Loan, a reminder of the political climate of the time. Amidst it all, a Bible presented to King George V, a symbol of faith and wisdom, grounds the scene in the spiritual and moral foundation of the monarchy.
