This print captures a momentous event at St James's Palace - the first levee of the season, hosted by the King. The grandeur of this royal occasion is evident from the large attendance of diplomatic and official representatives who gathered to pay their respects. In the foreground stands Admiral Sir Hugh Evan Thomas, a distinguished British naval officer. He exudes an air of authority in his immaculate dress uniform, complete with a bicorne hat adorned with gold braiding. His chest proudly displays an array of medals and decorations, testament to his remarkable service to the Royal Navy. The bustling street behind him serves as a backdrop for this historic snapshot, transporting us back to 1920s Europe. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and character to this twentieth-century photograph captured by Central News. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the significance attached to such events in British history. It offers us a glimpse into a world where tradition and ceremony were paramount, showcasing not only the pomp and pageantry but also honoring those who dedicated their lives to serving their country. This extraordinary piece from TopFoto allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and its historical importance while providing insight into an era long gone but forever preserved through photography.
