EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion aboard the Royal Yacht Britannia in the 1920s. King George V and Queen Mary of the United Kingdom are seen accompanied by their trusted equerry and naval officer, Sir Charles Cust. The image exudes an air of regality as the royal couple stands tall on deck, with Sir Charles Cust standing respectfully nearby. Taken from Marion Crawford's book "The Queen Mother" this rare photograph offers a glimpse into the private lives of British royalty during that era. Marion Crawford, also known as "Crawfie" served as governess to Princess Margaret and Princess Elizabeth (the future Queen Elizabeth II), making her account all the more intimate and insightful. The composition is beautifully captured in monochrome, emphasizing both the historical significance of this moment and its timeless elegance. King George V's commanding presence is matched only by Queen Mary's gracefulness, while Sir Charles Cust adds a touch of military distinction to the scene. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand a slice of British history. It serves as a testament to not only the enduring legacy of these influential figures but also to their unwavering dedication towards serving their nation with honor and dignity.
