EDITORS COMMENTS
In Memoriam: King George V (1865-1936) - A poignant postcard bearing an In Memoriam message for the late King George V, who passed away on January 20, 1936, at the age of 70. The black-bordered postcard features a striking portrait of the monarch, dressed in his full regalia, holding a sword and a scepter, with a mournful expression on his face. The image is a poignant reminder of the solemnity and gravity of the moment, as the nation and the world mourned the loss of a beloved and respected monarch. The reverse side of the postcard includes a heartfelt poem by Allan Junior, titled "In Memoriam," which captures the sense of loss and sadness felt by many at the time. The poem begins with the lines, "Farewell, dear Sovereign, whose reign was long and true, Whose heart was ever kind, and whose hand ever just," and goes on to express the hope that the deceased monarch will rest in peace and be remembered fondly. The postcard, dated 1936, is a poignant keepsake from a time of national mourning, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of poetry and art to capture and express the complex emotions of loss and memory.
