EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a poignant night scene outside the gates of Buckingham Palace during the illness of King George V. The image shows a large crowd gathered, eagerly waiting to read the latest bulletin posted on the railings to the right of the picture. It is December 7th, 1928, and people are anxiously seeking updates on the health of their beloved king. The atmosphere in this snapshot is palpable - a mix of concern, anticipation, and unity among those who have come together in solidarity during this uncertain time. The queue stretches out into the darkness, illuminated only by faint streetlights and lanterns flickering in the night. As we gaze upon this scene from nearly a century ago, we are reminded of the importance that royalty held in society at that time. The public's interest in every detail regarding their monarch's well-being speaks volumes about their deep respect and loyalty towards King George V. This photograph serves as an important reminder of our shared history and how moments like these can bring communities together in times of hardship. It is a snapshot frozen in time that allows us to reflect on our past and appreciate how far we have come since then.
