The Order of St. Patrick, 1937: A Glimpse into Ireland's Rich History and Tradition This full-length photograph, taken in 1937, showcases a group of men dressed in the regalia of The Order of St. Patrick. The Order, established in 1272 by King Edward I of England, is the oldest chivalric order in Ireland. It was originally founded to recognize and honor the loyalty of the native Irish chieftains to the English Crown. The men in the photograph are dressed in the traditional garb of the Order, which includes a red cloak, a gold collar, and a star emblem. The cloaks are adorned with the cross of St. Patrick, a symbol of Ireland's patron saint. The Order's motto, "Quis Separabit?" (Who will separate us?), is emblazoned on the collar. The photograph is part of the collection "The Coronation of H.M. King George VI and H.M. Queen Elizabeth 1937," published by John Player & Sons, a renowned British tobacco company. The image captures the essence of pageantry and tradition, transporting us back to a time when such orders held significant cultural and historical importance. Despite the uncertainty of the creator's identity, the photograph stands as a testament to the rich history and traditions of Ireland, showcasing the men of The Order of St. Patrick in their full regalia. The image, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the clothing and customs of the 1930s.
