EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "His Two Sceptres, May 12 1937" captures a significant moment in British history. Taken from the Coronation Souvenir Book of 1937, edited by Gordon Beckles and published by the Daily Express in London, this image showcases the coronation ceremony of King George VI. In the photograph, we see His Majesty holding two sceptres while seated on the renowned Coronation Chair inside Westminster Abbey. The regalia he holds symbolizes his authority as king and his commitment to upholding Christian values. Surrounding him are various clergy members, including Archbishop Arthur Hinsley of Westminster. This historic event took place during a crucial time for Britain in the 1930s. As Europe was on the brink of war, King George VI's ascension to the throne brought hope and stability to a nation facing uncertain times. The solemnity captured within this image reflects both the grandeur of royal tradition and the weighty responsibilities bestowed upon its monarch. The print serves as a testament to British heritage and is an invaluable piece of literature that preserves this important chapter in history. It allows us to glimpse into a world long gone but not forgotten – one where kings were crowned amidst great pomp and circumstance, reminding us of our shared past and shaping our collective future.
