EDITORS COMMENTS
The State Coach Passing the Cenotaph," captured by the Photochrom Co. Ltd. of London in 1937, is a poignant and historic image that commemorates the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother) of the United Kingdom. This photograph, taken during the procession through the capital city, depicts the Gold State Coach, drawn by six horses, making its way past the Cenotaph in Whitehall. The Cenotaph, an empty tomb-like structure built in 1919 to honor the British soldiers who died in World War I, serves as a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made for the British Empire. The Duke and Duchess of York, later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, are seen in the open coach, waving to the large crowd that has gathered along the streets of London. The Duke of York, later King George VI, wears the Imperial State Crown, while Queen Elizabeth, wearing the Queen Mother's Diamond Diadem, holds a pair of white gloves in her hands. The Duchess of York, later Queen Elizabeth, is dressed in a long white gown and a diamond diadem. The photograph also features several members of the royal escort, including the Duke of Windsor, later Edward VIII, who would abdicate the throne just six months later. The image is a testament to the grandeur and tradition of the British monarchy during the 20th century, a time of change and transition in the British Empire and Commonwealth. The photograph, titled "The Coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth," is a significant historical document that captures the essence of a momentous event in British history. It is a reminder of the continuity of the monarchy and the enduring symbolism of the Cenotaph as a tribute to the fallen soldiers of the British Empire and Commonwealth.
