EDITORS COMMENTS
The Crowning of King George VI" is a captivating photograph capturing the historic moment of the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother) of the United Kingdom, taken in 1937. The image, produced by the renowned Photochrom Co. Ltd. of London, offers an aerial view of the grand ceremony held in the hallowed halls of Westminster Abbey, located in the heart of London, England. King George VI, born Albert Frederick Arthur George Windsor, ascended to the throne following the abdication of his brother, Edward VIII. His wife, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, became the Queen Consort. The photograph captures the King in his regal attire, adorned with the Imperial State Crown, as he is being crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Cosmo Gordon Lang. The coronation was a significant event not only for the British people but also for the British Empire, Commonwealth, and British India, marking the beginning of a new era. The ceremony was steeped in tradition and Christian symbolism, reflecting the deep-rooted religious and historical significance of the monarchy. The photograph, taken from an elevated view, offers a unique perspective of the grandeur and scale of the event. The Duke and Duchess of York, later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, are surrounded by an array of bishops, lords, and other dignitaries, all dressed in their finest robes and regalia. The image is a testament to the grandeur and tradition of the British monarchy and the coronation ceremony. The photograph, titled "The Crowning of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth," is a historic snapshot of a pivotal moment in British history, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich tapestry of the British monarchy.
