Photograph of Prince George of Wales, later King George V, standing in a full length portrait and facing three-quarters to the right. He wears a sailor's outfit and leaning against the back of an upholstered chair that is decorated with tassels.
As a young boy, Prince George was often photographed wearing Naval costume and this is one such example. In 1879 he, together with Prince Albert Victor, served on board the HMS Bacchante and travelled to the Americas and East and South East Asia. -
