EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "At the Gates, Fort Belvedere, 1936 (1937)" takes us back to a significant moment in British history. The image is part of the Coronation Souvenir Book 1937, edited by Gordon Beckles and published by Daily Express in London. It showcases the imposing entrance of Fort Belvedere, located in Berkshire, England. The fortification stands tall and proud as a symbol of strength and protection. In front of its gates, we see a group of men diligently guarding this historical landmark. Among them is Albert Frederick Arthur George Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, known as Duke of York at that time but later crowned King George VI. Accompanying him is Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, who would become Queen Consort under his reign. This photograph captures their presence on an ordinary day before their lives were forever changed by destiny. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the scene while emphasizing the importance and seriousness surrounding this location. The letterbox format further enhances its vintage appeal. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from the 1930s, it serves as a reminder of Britain's rich heritage and royal lineage. It invites us to reflect on the duty these individuals had towards their nation during an era marked by political turmoil and impending war.
