EDITORS COMMENTS
This mourning card, printed in the aftermath of the passing of King George V on January 20, 1936, serves as a poignant reminder of the solemnity and tradition that surrounded the death and burial of a British monarch in the early 20th century. The rectangular, rectangular-edged card, with its simple yet elegant design, features an image of the late monarch in formal attire, framed by an intricate white and black border. The words "In Loving Memory of His Majesty King George V" are inscribed in elegant script, with the date of his passing, "January 20, 1936," and the acronym R.I.P. (Rest in Peace) at the bottom. King George V, who reigned from 1910 until his death, was a beloved and respected figure in British history. His passing marked the end of the Georgian era and the beginning of the Edwardian era, with his eldest son, Edward VIII, taking the throne. The mourning period that followed was a time of national mourning, with flags flying at half-mast and public displays of mourning. This mourning card, a common keepsake during the 1930s and 1930s, would have been distributed to friends, family, and acquaintances of the deceased monarch as a way to express condolences and pay respects. The use of white and black, traditional colors of mourning, and the formal, respectful language on the card reflect the somber and reverent atmosphere of the time. The card's simple yet elegant design underscores the historical significance of the event and the enduring tradition of mourning a monarch in the United Kingdom.
