EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of leisure and athleticism in the life of Albert Frederick Arthur George, better known as King George VI. Taken in 1926 at Wimbledon, the Duke of York is seen engaging in a spirited game of tennis. The image exudes an air of elegance and grace as the future king serves with precision and focus. The photograph is part of the Coronation Souvenir Book from 1937, edited by Gordon Beckles, which commemorates King George VI's ascension to the throne. This historical artifact provides a glimpse into British royalty during the early 20th century. The composition beautifully showcases both the exterior surroundings and the Duke himself. Standing outside on what appears to be a sunny day, he stands tall in his tennis whites, holding his racket confidently. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this snapshot frozen in time. As we admire this portrait captured by an unknown photographer, we are reminded not only of King George VI's love for sports but also his role as a symbol of strength for Britain during challenging times. This image serves as a testament to both his athletic prowess and regal presence. With its rich history and cultural significance, this print from Heritage Images offers us an opportunity to connect with one aspect of royal life that often goes unseen - their personal interests beyond their public duties.
