EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite detail from a photograph showcases the cover of a Bible presented to King George V in 1910 by the British and Foreign Bible Society. The presentation of this sacred text to the monarch was an esteemed tradition, symbolizing the deep connection between the British monarchy and Christianity. The cover is adorned with intricate ornamentation, including a majestic crown, the garter emblem of the Order of the Garter, and the rose, a symbol of the House of Windsor. The regal motifs reflect the historical significance of the occasion and the reverence with which the Bible was held. King George V, dressed in his regal attire, is depicted receiving the Bible from representatives of the British and Foreign Bible Society. The presentation took place at Buckingham Palace, further emphasizing the importance of the event in the annals of British history. The Bible, an essential religious text for Christians, holds a unique place in the history of the British monarchy. The presentation of this Bible to King George V serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted connection between the monarchy and Christianity, as well as the historical importance of the British and Foreign Bible Society in spreading the word of God across the world. The Latin inscriptions on the cover, "Qui ut Malis Solet, Bene Pense," and "Soit Pense, Bien Pense," translate to "Think evil, speak good," and "Think well, speak well," respectively. These inscriptions serve as a reminder of the importance of positive thinking and speech, further emphasizing the spiritual significance of the presentation.
