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. In this powerful homage to the king, we see him seated in Westminster Abbey, adorned in ceremonial dress and wearing a regal crown. The Duke of York, also known as Prince Albert Frederick of Wales or Albert Frederick Arthur George Saxe Coburg Gotha, is depicted here with great dignity and poise. His robe made of ermine fur adds an air of grandeur to his appearance. Surrounding him are members of the peerage and other distinguished individuals who have come together to witness this significant royal event. This photograph not only serves as a visual record but also highlights the importance placed on tradition and religious ceremony during this era. It offers us a glimpse into a bygone time when such events were celebrated with great pomp and reverence. As we gaze upon this portrait captured by an unknown photographer, we cannot help but be transported back to that day in 1937 when history was made within the hallowed walls of Westminster Abbey. This print stands as a testament to our rich heritage, reminding us of the enduring legacy left behind by King George VI and his reign over Great Britain.
