EDITORS COMMENTS
1. "A Timeless Tradition: The Garter Banner of King George V The exquisite Garter Banner of King George V, a masterpiece of embroidery craftsmanship, is depicted in this evocative photograph. Created at the esteemed Royal School of Needlework, now known as the Royal School of Embroidery, in South Kensington, London, this banner is a centuries-old institution that comes to life anew with every monarch's ascension to the throne. Established in the late 14th century, the Garter King of Arms, an officer of arms in the British monarchy, is responsible for the upkeep of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, the oldest and most prestigious order in the British monarchy. The Garter Banner is an essential component of this order, representing the monarch's authority and symbolizing the unity of the knights of the order. This particular banner, dating from 1910, was meticulously crafted to be hung in the hallowed halls of St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle. The banner's design is steeped in rich symbolism, featuring the Royal Arms of England, the arms of the Garter Principal King of Arms, and the Royal Crest of King George V. The banner is adorned with a fringe and a border of Tudor roses and fleurs-de-lis, adding to its regal splendor. The central image of the banner is the King's harp, a symbol of the monarch's musical ability, and two rampant lions, representing the courage and strength of the monarch. The lions are depicted with the motto "Honi soit qui mal y pense," which translates to "Shame on him who thinks evil of it," a reminder of the order's commitment to chivalry and honor. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and tradition of the Garter Banner, a testament to the enduring allure of heraldry and the importance of craftsmanship in the British monarchy.
