EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the essence of the historic moment as the world came together to celebrate the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on June 2, 1953. The front cover of The Tatler magazine, dated 1953, proudly displays a painting of the newly crowned monarch, radiantly dressed in her regal robes, adorned with a magnificent crown, and carrying a beautiful bouquet of roses. The painting, which showcases the Queen in all her glory, is juxtaposed with a Coty advertisement, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the celebration. The advertisement, featuring the iconic Coty perfume bottle, symbolizes the opulence and grandeur of the occasion. The combination of these two elements encapsulates the royal spirit of the time, as the nation and the world celebrated the beginning of a new era in British history." "The painting, which depicts the Queen wearing a fur coat, was a common representation of royalty during that period. The use of fur in royal portraits was a symbol of wealth and power, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the monarchy. However, it is essential to note that the use of fur in fashion and art has been a subject of controversy in recent times due to ethical concerns. This image serves as a reminder of the historical context in which it was created and the evolution of societal values over the decades." "The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II was a significant event in British history, marking the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. The image of the Queen, as depicted in this painting, has become an iconic symbol of the monarchy and the British people's enduring love and respect for their sovereign. The combination of the Tatler cover and the Coty advertisement provides a unique perspective on this historical moment, offering a glimpse into the past and the changing times.
