H. M. The King laying the Foundation Stone of Lloyds New Building 23 May 1925, (1928)
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in British history - the foundation stone laying ceremony of Lloyd's new building on May 23,1925. In this remarkable image from "A History of Lloyd's" by Charles Wright and C. Ernest Fayle, we witness His Majesty King George V himself performing the ceremonial act. Surrounded by distinguished guests and members of royalty including his wife Queen Mary, Princess Victoria Mary of Teck, and even the Prince of Wales, this grand occasion showcases the importance placed upon insurance and commerce in early twentieth-century Britain. The photograph provides an intimate glimpse into this historic event as it unfolds indoors within the City of London. With meticulous attention to detail, every individual present is captured with striking clarity - from men donning formal attire to elegant ladies exuding grace. As one person lays the foundation stone that will support Lloyd's new building for generations to come, we are reminded not only of architectural progress but also how these institutions shape our society. This monochrome portrait serves as a testament to both royal patronage and Lloyd's enduring legacy as a leading insurance company. With its rich historical context and artistic composition, this print carries immense value for collectors or enthusiasts interested in exploring Britain's past through visual storytelling.
