EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures a moment of regal splendor from the 1937 coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. The image features the newly crowned monarch, King George VI, seated on his throne with his wife, Queen Elizabeth, and their two daughters, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, standing beside him. The royal family members are dressed in their magnificent coronation robes, each adorned with intricate embroidery and symbolic motifs. King George VI, dressed in the traditional robes of a British monarch, wears the Imperial State Crown, which is adorned with precious stones and gold. His wife, Queen Elizabeth, wears a gown of deep blue velvet, trimmed with ermine, and a diamond and pearl encrusted crown known as the Queen Mary Fringe Tiara. The young Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, both in white satin and lace, wear their coronets, the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland and the Strathmore Rose, respectively. The train of Queen Elizabeth's gown, which is held by a number of ladies-in-waiting, adds to the grandeur of the scene. The photograph captures the sense of tradition and pageantry that surrounded the coronation, as well as the close bond between the royal family members. The image is a testament to the fashion and costume of the time, as well as the enduring symbolism of the British monarchy. This photograph, taken at the historic coronation ceremony held at Westminster Abbey on May 12, 1937, is a beautiful and evocative reminder of a significant moment in British history.
