About this piece
George V (1865 – 1936) was King of the United Kingdom from 1910 to 1936.
He was the son of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, Grandson of Queen Victoria and the older brother of Princess Victoria (1868 – 1935).
George V was also the first monarch in the current House of Windsor, having changed the family name from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in 1917.
These rare drawings are by 12 year-old George V and 9 year-old Princess Victoria on paper headed 'Marlborough House, Pall Mall S.W'.
George's drawing is a combination of pencil, watercolour and crayon, and is signed and inscribed in pencil to the verso:
“From George to Dear Mr Dalton, August 19, 1877.”
On the top half of the page, George has drawn a purple boat with two crew members on board.
On the bottom half, he has drawn a bearded with a hat and sword chasing an apple scrumper away from a large green apple tree.
