EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the Illustrated London News' Coronation issue in 1937 showcases a group of elegantly dressed individuals taking a moment to enjoy a smoke as they witness the grand Coronation procession pass by. The event, which marked the official crowning of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, was a significant occasion in British history and attracted massive crowds along the route. The prime balcony position of these spectators offers a privileged view of the procession, making their smoking break all the more enjoyable. The 1930s, an era of glamour and sophistication, is reflected in the impeccable attire of the group. The women don stylish hats and dresses, while the men wear formal suits and hats. Smoking was a common practice during the time, and Craven A cigarettes, a popular brand, can be seen in the hands of some of the spectators. The advertisement for Craven A cigarettes, which graced the pages of the Illustrated London News, is a testament to the brand's popularity and its association with such grand occasions. The photograph captures the essence of the Coronation procession, with the excitement and anticipation of the crowd, the grandeur of the event, and the simple pleasure of sharing a moment with friends while enjoying a smoke. This image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on a historic occasion and the social norms of the time.
