EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken in 1927 (1937), we witness a moment of leisure and adventure as the Duke of York indulges in deep sea fishing off the coast of New Zealand. The image captures the essence of travel and transport, showcasing a group of men aboard their boats, surrounded by the vast expanse of water. Amidst the serene beauty of the Bay of Islands, this snapshot reveals a rare glimpse into royal relaxation. The Duke's participation in such an activity during his tour through Australia and New Zealand demonstrates his connection to both land and sea. As he casts his line into the depths below, one can almost feel the excitement building up within him. The anticipation is palpable as he awaits that thrilling tug on his fishing rod. This scene not only showcases a momentary escape from royal duties but also highlights man's timeless fascination with nature's bounty. The monochrome tones add an air of nostalgia to this photograph, transporting us back to a bygone era - the roaring twenties. It serves as a reminder that even amidst grandeur and regality, moments like these allow for genuine connections with our surroundings. This remarkable print offers us insight into British royalty's exploration beyond borders while capturing an intimate encounter between man and aquatic life. A true testament to history itself, it stands as a cherished piece from W. D & H. O Wills' collection - Our King And Queen cigarette cards produced for The Imperial Tobacco Company in London back in 1937.
