EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in history - His Majesty driving a tram through the bustling streets of Glasgow. The year was 1924, and this remarkable event took place after the opening of the new recreation ground. Little did anyone know that this Duke of York would soon ascend to become King George VI on December 11th, 1936. The photograph, taken by an unknown creator, showcases the young prince's charismatic presence as he confidently operates the streetcar. Surrounding him are background people who seem both awestruck and delighted by his royal presence. The image exudes a sense of pride and joy that resonates with every viewer. This historical artifact is featured in Major J. T. Gorman's book "George VI, King and Emperor" published by W. & G Foyle Ltd. , London in 1937. It serves as a testament to not only the significance of this royal visit but also to the enduring legacy of King George VI himself. Transportation enthusiasts will appreciate this glimpse into early road transport, while admirers of British royalty will be captivated by Prince Albert Frederick's (later known as King George VI) radiant smile throughout his journey through Glasgow's streets. Preserved for posterity by The Print Collector, this monochrome portrait transports us back to a time when trams were an integral part of public transport systems across Britain. It stands as a reminder that even kings can find joy in simple pleasures like driving trams amidst their loyal subjects' adoration.
