EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken on September 12, 1911, King George V and Queen Mary are seen laying the foundation stone for the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth. The royal couple is accompanied by their eldest son, the Prince of Wales, later Edward VIII, and his wife, Princess Mary. The Prince of Wales is dressed in his full military uniform, while the Queen and Princess Mary are elegantly attired in their hats and dresses. The National Library of Wales was a significant cultural and educational institution, and the foundation stone-laying ceremony was an important event in the history of Wales and the United Kingdom. The library was established to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of Wales, and its construction was a source of great pride for the people of the region. The crowd in the background is a testament to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the event. Spectators, many of whom are wearing hats, have gathered to witness the royal family's arrival and the laying of the foundation stone. The Prince of Wales holds a trowel in his hand, ready to perform the ceremonial act of laying the first stone. King George V and Queen Mary were known for their dedication to education and culture, and the National Library of Wales was a fitting project for them to support. The library would go on to become a vital resource for scholars, researchers, and the people of Wales for generations to come. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing a moment in history when the British monarchy and the people of Wales came together to celebrate the importance of knowledge, culture, and the enduring power of tradition.
