EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in December 1919, Prince Albert, later King George VI of Scotland and England, is seen taking a tour of the Beardmore Works in Glasgow, Scotland. The Prince, dressed in a heavy overcoat and bowler hat, walks alongside William Beardmore, 1st Baron Invernairn, the founder and proprietor of the renowned Scottish engineering and shipbuilding conglomerate. The Beardmore Works, situated in the suburbs of Glasgow, were renowned for their innovative industrial processes and significant contributions to the British war effort during World War I. Prince Albert spent an impressive eight hours at the works, inspecting various facilities and engaging with employees. As they walk along the factory tracks, the Prince and Lord Invernairn are surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells of industrial Glasgow. Steam rises from the machinery, while workers in heavy overalls toil away in the background. The Prince's visit was a testament to his commitment to patronage and support for the industrial sector, as well as his dedication to engaging with the people of Scotland. The photograph captures a moment of connection between the future monarch and the industrial pioneer, as they share a conversation amidst the bustling activity of the Beardmore Works. The image is a poignant reminder of the role that industry played in shaping Scotland's history and the importance of royal patronage in promoting economic growth and innovation.
