EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous visit to the Duke of Yorks Camp at Jesson, New Romney, Kent in 1935. The Duke of York, who later became King George VI, can be seen with a warm smile on his face as he interacts with the boys attending the summer camp. As President of the Industrial Welfare Society, His Royal Highness founded these camps to provide an opportunity for boys from both privileged and industrial backgrounds to enjoy their summer vacations together. Dressed in casual attire including shorts and shirts, the young campers appear delighted by the presence of royalty amidst them. This image beautifully showcases a unique concept where enjoyment transcends social boundaries. It symbolizes unity and charity as it brings together individuals from different walks of life under one roof. The photograph is part of a collection called "Our King And Queen" cigarette cards produced by W. D. & H. O. Wills for The Imperial Tobacco Company in London during 1937. Card No 43 out of 50 highlights this significant event that took place during Britain's thirties era. Preserved through time, this historical print serves as a testament to the dedication shown by members of the royal family towards improving society's welfare. It reminds us that even those born into privilege can extend their hand towards others less fortunate and create opportunities for joy and growth within communities like never before imagined.
