EDITORS COMMENTS
Homeward Bound Through Trafalgar Square," captured by the Photochrom Co. Ltd. of London in 1937, is an evocative black and white image documenting the historic procession of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother) following their coronation at Westminster Abbey. The newly crowned monarchs, who ascended to the throne following the abdication of King Edward VIII, are seen traveling in the magnificent Gold State Coach, pulled by six white horses. The elevated view from an arial perspective offers a unique and expansive look at the bustling crowd in Trafalgar Square, which is filled with people from all walks of life, eager to catch a glimpse of their new rulers. The image is a testament to the British Empire at the height of its power, with the Commonwealth and British India represented by various flags and banners in the crowd. The Duke and Duchess of York, who would later become King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, are seen waving to the adoring crowd, their regal attire and expressions of joy and gratitude on full display. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the historic event that brought the British people together in celebration of their new monarchs and the continuation of the British monarchy. This image is a significant piece of 20th century history, capturing the essence of imperialism, tradition, and national pride in the heart of London.
