This striking front cover image features a bronze bust of King George VI, created by the renowned sculptor Felix Weiss. The photograph captures the intricate details of the sculpture, with the King's regal features prominently on display. The bust is positioned in front of the Union Flag, adding an air of authority and patriotism to the image. King George VI, who reigned from 1936 until his death in 1952, was the last Emperor of India and the last monarch of the British Empire in its pre-decolonization form. He ascended to the throne following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, and faced numerous challenges during his reign, including World War II. Felix Weiss (1882-1960) was a German-born sculptor who came to prominence in the UK in the early 20th century. He is best known for his portraits of royalty and political figures, including Winston Churchill and George VI. This bust of King George VI is a testament to Weiss's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of his subjects in three dimensions. The image, dated 19th May 1937, provides a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the regal image of King George VI during his reign. The bronze bust, with its intricate details and lifelike quality, continues to captivate viewers and serve as a reminder of the rich history and tradition of British monarchy.
