EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in British history - the Demonstration in Whitehall on December 10th, 1936. The image is taken from the Coronation Souvenir Book of 1937, edited by Gordon Beckles and published by the Daily Express in London. The photograph showcases a crowded scene in the City of Westminster, with people gathered outside to express their opinions during this significant period. In the foreground, we see a diverse group of men and women passionately engaged in peaceful protest. Amongst them are individuals holding signs advocating for various causes and concerns. The context surrounding this demonstration is crucial to understanding its significance. It took place shortly after King Edward VIII's abdication from the throne due to his desire to marry Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee. This decision led to his younger brother Albert Frederick Arthur George ascending as King George VI. As night falls over London, panoramic photography captures not only the crowd but also highlights iconic landmarks such as letterboxes and buildings that make up this bustling cityscape. This image serves as a reminder of how public sentiment can shape history and reflects both the political climate of Britain at that time and the power of collective action.
