EDITORS COMMENTS
This front cover of The Graphic magazine's Royal Wedding Number, published in 1923, commemorates the marriage of Prince Albert, Duke of York, and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. The Duke, who would later become King George VI, is depicted in his dashing Royal Air Force (RAF) uniform, symbolizing his rank as an Air Commodore and his commitment to the fledgling British air force. The cover design is richly decorated with emblems of both England and Scotland, reflecting the couple's respective heritages. The English rose and Scottish thistle, traditional symbols of the two nations, are artfully arranged around the central image of the engaged couple. The Duke's engagement ring, featuring a large diamond flanked by smaller diamonds, is also visible in this stunning visual celebration of the royal union. The wedding took place on 26 April 1923, and this cover serves as a beautiful testament to the historical significance of the event. The Graphic magazine's meticulous attention to detail and symbolic use of imagery make this cover a cherished piece of royal history.
