EDITORS COMMENTS
King George VI in His Majesty's Coronation Robes, May 12th, 1937 This striking photograph captures King George VI in all his regal splendor as he donned the intricately designed coronation robes for his coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey on May 12th, 1937. The image showcases the monarch in the pomp and ceremonial grandeur of the occasion, adorned with the ermine-trimmed robe, the jewel-encrusted crown, and the heavy coronation chain. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its timely production and distribution. The photographic prints were flown to Valentines works in Dundee on Coronation Day itself, and postcards bearing the images were available for sale in London by 11 o'clock on May 13th, just a day after the coronation. This quick turnaround is a testament to the advanced technology and logistical capabilities of the time. King George VI ascended to the throne following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, in December 1936. His coronation marked a new era for the British monarchy, and this photograph serves as a vivid reminder of the pomp and pageantry that surrounded the momentous occasion. The image also offers a glimpse into the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy, with its grand robes, ceremonial regalia, and the symbolic transfer of power from one monarch to another. The photograph stands as a testament to the enduring allure and fascination of royalty and the monarch's role as the embodiment of the British people's history and heritage.
