EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in British history - the coronation of King George VI on May 12,1937. The image is taken from the Coronation Souvenir Book edited by Gordon Beckles and published by the Daily Express in London that same year. The photograph showcases the grandeur of the occasion as it depicts an "Avenue of Banners" adorning a bustling street in London. The flags fluttering high above create a striking visual spectacle against the backdrop of historic buildings. Crowds gather along the road, eagerly awaiting a glimpse of their new king and queen consort. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a horse-drawn carriage making its way through the avenue, escorted by mounted guards. Seated inside is King George VI himself, accompanied by his beloved wife Queen Elizabeth (formerly Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyon). Their regal presence evokes both admiration and excitement among onlookers. This image not only offers us a glimpse into an important historical event but also serves as a reminder of Britain's rich cultural heritage and royal traditions. It encapsulates an era when pomp and pageantry were celebrated with great fervor throughout the nation. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry captured almost a century ago, we are transported back to that significant day when Albert Frederick Arthur George became King George VI, marking yet another chapter in British history under his reign.
