EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of leisure and sport as the Duke of York indulges in a game of golf at Ton Pentre, Rhondda Valley, Wales in May 1924. The image showcases the elegance and grace with which the Duke swings his club on this picturesque golf course. Dressed impeccably in his golfing attire, the Duke stands out against the backdrop of lush greenery and rolling hills. His regal presence is enhanced by the British flag fluttering proudly nearby. As he focuses on his swing, spectators watch attentively, perhaps amazed by witnessing royalty engage in such a common pastime. The photograph transports us back to early 20th century Britain when golf was gaining popularity among all social classes. It offers a glimpse into an era where even monarchs found solace and enjoyment on the greens. This particular print is part of a series called "Our King And Queen" cigarette cards produced for W. D. & H. O. Wills by The Imperial Tobacco Company in London during 1937. It serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic representation of one moment from King George VI's life before he ascended to the throne. With its monochrome charm and attention to detail, this print allows us to appreciate not only the skillful golfer that was Prince Albert Frederick Arthur George but also provides insight into an era long gone yet forever preserved through images like these.
