EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Gustav V, the King of Sweden (1858-1950), during the historic 1912 Olympic Games held in his native city of Stockholm. The monarch, who reigned from 1907 until his death in 1950, is seen here with a pince-nez spectacle perched on the bridge of his nose, intently observing the proceedings. The Olympic Games, which marked the first time the international sporting event was held in Scandinavia, took place from May 30 to June 14, 1912. The image reflects the sense of national pride and excitement that pervaded the Swedish people during this significant moment in their history. Gustav V, born on June 16, 1858, was the eldest son of King Oscar II and Queen Sophia of Sweden. He ascended to the throne following his father's abdication in 1907. Known for his love of hunting and the outdoors, Gustav V was a popular monarch who maintained a strong connection with the Swedish people. His reign was marked by stability and prosperity, and he played an active role in Swedish politics. The 1912 Olympic Games, which featured 14 nations and 2,451 athletes, were a testament to Sweden's growing international influence. The event saw the country excel in various sports, particularly in athletics and sailing, and the Swedish team finished third in the overall medal count. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a proud moment in Swedish history, with Gustav V, the beloved monarch, at the heart of the celebration.
