Deck Quoits with Their Majesties on H. M. S. Renown, 1927-1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a delightful moment of leisure aboard the majestic H. M. S. Renown in 1927, featuring Their Majesties King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (formerly known as The Duke and Duchess of York). Deck quoits, a popular game during that era, provided the perfect opportunity for the royal couple to unwind amidst their busy schedules. The image showcases a jovial scene where both King George VI and Queen Elizabeth actively participate in the friendly competition. Dressed impeccably in their elegant attire, they exude grace and charm even while engaging in this casual pastime. The deck of H. M. S. Renown serves as an idyllic backdrop for this lighthearted moment shared by two influential figures who would shape British history. It is worth noting that this photograph holds historical significance as it was taken before King George VI ascended to the throne following his brother's abdication in December 1936. This transition from Duke to King adds depth to our understanding of these intimate moments captured on board. Preserved within the pages of Major J. T. Gorman's book "George VI, King and Emperor" published by W & G Foyle Ltd. , London in 1937, this photograph offers us a glimpse into the private lives of royalty during a time when Britain stood at the brink of significant change. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to transport us back to an era defined by elegance, tradition, and resilience.
