EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the Keasbury-Gordon Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, we witness a historic moment in Hungerford, Berkshire, England, as King George V and Queen Mary make their regal entrance into Hungerford Church Street on 21st October 1912. The King, dressed in full regalia, is seated on his horse-drawn carriage, while his queen, elegantly attired, sits beside him. The crowds that have gathered to catch a glimpse of the royal couple are a sea of hats and Victorian-era attire, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. The photograph captures the essence of the Edwardian era, an age of grandeur and opulence, where the monarchy held a special place in the hearts of the people. The scene is set against the backdrop of Hungerford Church Street, with its quaint shops and houses, adding to the charm and nostalgia of the moment. King George V and Queen Mary's visit to Hungerford was a significant event for the town, and the photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past. It is a reminder of a time when the monarchy was a unifying force, bringing people together in celebration and unity. The photograph also serves as a testament to the enduring power of tradition and the importance of historical preservation. The intricate details of the photograph, from the ornate carriages to the finely-dressed onlookers, transport us back in time, allowing us to experience a moment in history that continues to captivate and inspire. This photograph is not only a valuable historical document but also a beautiful work of art that speaks to the rich cultural heritage of England.
