EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print captures a significant meeting between two influential figures of the early 20th century. In 1924, Ras Tafari, Prince Regent of Ethiopia (later known as Emperor Haile Selassie), visited London and was photographed alongside the Duke of York (who would later become King George VI). The image showcases an outdoor scene in London, England, where both men are seen walking side by side. The photograph is rich with symbolism and historical context. Ras Tafari's attire reflects his religious beliefs as a prominent figure in Rastafarianism, while the Duke of York dons a royal uniform representing his position within British royalty. This juxtaposition highlights the intersection between different cultures and religions during this time period. The sepia-toned monochrome adds to the vintage charm of this image from the 1937 publication "Our King & Queen and the Royal Princesses" by Odhams Press Ltd. It serves as a visual metaphor for bridging gaps between nations and fostering diplomatic relationships. Overall, this portrait immortalizes an important moment in history when two leaders from different worlds came together on English soil. It reminds us of their shared humanity despite their contrasting backgrounds and provides a glimpse into international relations during that era.
