EDITORS COMMENTS
This half-length portrait captures King George V (1865-1936) in his resplendent ceremonial attire, a testament to his regal status as Monarch of the United Kingdom and Emperor of India during the 1910s. The King, dressed in the grandeur of his royal role, wears the insignia of the Order of the Garter, the most senior and oldest chivalric order in Britain, adorned across his chest. The Star of India, a symbol of his imperial rule, is prominently displayed on his left shoulder. King George V's ceremonial dress, with its rich velvet fabric, intricate embroidery, and ermine trim, exudes an air of majesty and tradition. The monarch's stern yet composed expression and the meticulous detail in his attire underscore the gravity and importance of his position. As the fifth monarch of the House of Windsor, King George V ascended the throne in 1910 following the death of his father, King Edward VII. His reign marked a period of significant change and modernization in the British monarchy, including the adoption of the new royal cypher, "G.R.I.V.," and the introduction of the first royal film, "A Day with the King." This evocative image, captured by renowned photographer Grenville Collins, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and tradition of the British monarchy during the early 20th century.
