This original newspaper contains a bold banner headline: "THE KING IS DEAD / Long Live Edward the Eighth" with news of the DEATH of King GEORGE V of GREAT BRITAIN.This issue has been reprinted in the 1980's but this particular issue is THE ACTUAL ORIGINAL 1936 NEWSPAPER issue from which the reprints were made George V (George Frederick Ernest Albert; 3 June 1865 – 20 January 1936) was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 6 May 1910 until his death in 1936. George V, King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, died at the Sandringham House in Norfolk on 20 January 1936, at the age of 70. He was succeeded by the eldest son, Edward VIII, who abdicated that year.King George had suffered several bouts of serious illness since the First World War; he suffered from chronic bronchitis exacerbated by heavy smoking. By 1935 he required the occasional use of oxygen tanks kept at his bedside. By the end of that year, his personal physician, Lord Dawson of Penn, told the prime minister, Stanley Baldwin, that the king was "packing up his luggage and getting ready to depart".In the new year of 1936, King George took to his bed at Sandringham House in Norfolk; family members were summoned on 16 and 17 January by an anxious Queen Mary. At 21:25 on Tuesday 20 January, Lord Dawson wrote a press bulletin on the back of a menu card; "the King’s life is moving peacefully to its close". King George died at 23:55 with the queen and his children at his bedside and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Cosmo Lang, reciting prayers. It was revealed decades later from Dawson's account in his personal diary, that he had hastened the process by injecting an overdose of morphine and cocaine into the king's jugular vein, with the intention of having the announcement in the morning broadsheet newspapers, rather than "the less appropriate evening journals".
