Fantastic circa 1910 matte-finish 4 x 5.5 photo of all six children of King George V and Queen Mary by W. & D. Downey of London, affixed to its original 7.5 x 10.25 mount, nicely signed on the mount in ink by Prince Edward of Wales (1894-1972, later King Edward VIII and afterwards Duke of Windsor), Prince Albert of Wales (1895-1952, later King George VI), Princess Mary of Wales (1897-1965, later Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood), Prince Henry of Wales (1900-1974, later Duke of Gloucester), Prince George of Wales (1902-1942, later Duke of Kent) and Prince John of Wales (1905-1919), all signing with their first names only. In fine condition, with some light ink spreading to Henry's signature and some warping to the mount. Signed photographs by all six children of King George V and Queen Mary are scarce owing to Prince John's tragically early death from an epileptic seizure at the age of 13.
