EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image, featured on the cover of The Bystander magazine in 1927, captures the elegant and regal atmosphere of Royal Ascot, one of the most anticipated events in the British social calendar. The portrait, painted specially for the magazine by renowned artist Cecil Cutler, depicts King George V in full regalia, dressed for the occasion with a top hat adorned with a plume of ostrich feathers. King George V, the monarch of the United Kingdom from 1910 to 1936, was an avid horse racing enthusiast and a regular attendee of Royal Ascot. The annual event, held at the historic Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire, is renowned for its grandeur and tradition, attracting the cream of British society and royalty. The King's smart attire, complete with a tailcoat, waistcoat, and striped trousers, is complemented by the elegant hats of the ladies in the background. The ladies' hats, a symbol of fashion and status, are adorned with intricate designs and feathers, reflecting the extravagance and glamour of the occasion. The painting captures the excitement and anticipation of the horse race, with the horses and jockeys ready to take to the track. The King, with a keen interest in the sport, is shown intently watching the scene unfold, a true horse racing enthusiast in every sense. This beautiful and intricately detailed painting by Cecil Cutler is a testament to the enduring appeal of Royal Ascot and the fascination it holds for the British public. It offers a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of a bygone era, making it a must-have for any collection of historical portraits or images of royalty and horse racing.
