EDITORS COMMENTS
Hurrying Home - The Duke of York-December 4th, 1936 (1937) captures a momentous day in British history. In this photo print, we see the future King George VI, then known as the Duke of York, rushing through the streets of London. It was taken on December 4th, just days before his unexpected ascension to the throne. The image showcases a bustling cityscape with cobbled lanes and vintage automobiles lining Piccadilly Avenue. The Duke's determined expression reflects both his personal urgency and the weight of responsibility that would soon be placed upon him. This photograph is part of the Coronation Souvenir Book 1937 edited by Gordon Beckles for Daily Express newspaper. It offers a glimpse into an era when newspapers were at their height as purveyors of news and culture. As we admire this portrait, it is impossible not to feel a sense of anticipation for what lies ahead for Britain during these tumultuous times. The image serves as a reminder that even those born into privilege must face challenges head-on. With its monochrome aesthetic and timeless appeal, 'Hurrying Home' transports us back to an era where tradition meets modernity. This piece from Heritage Images allows us to connect with history on a personal level while appreciating the artistry captured within each frame.
