King George V. of Hanover, 1876. Creator: Unknown.

King George V. of Hanover, 1876. Engraving from a photograph by Tagerspacher, of Gmunden. 'Although born at Berlin, we cannot regard King George as anything but an Englishman. Closely allied by family and the kingdom he has lost, a Prince of the United Kingdom and first cousin to the Queen, an English Duke and an Irish Earl, and now a General in the British Army, the ruler of a kingdom which gave us Kings, and whose soldiers fought our Continental battles, the link of connection between the King of Hanover and England is very close indeed...There is scarcely a family of note which has not paid homage to the dethroned Monarch, as the visitors' registers and audience-lists at his Majesty's hotel will attest; and the people everywhere cheer him as one of our own Royal family...His Majesty is blind, but is a man of high mental culture, and a great lover of music'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
