Coronation Coronations Covers Ermine Kings Monarch Monarchy Regal Regalia Robes Sceptre Sovereign 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the regal majesty of King George VI as he dons his coronation robes in preparation for his inauguration as Monarch of the United Kingdom on May 12, 1936. The image, taken in 1937, shows King George VI proudly holding the Imperial State Crown, adorned with precious stones and intricate gold and silver designs, at the ready for his coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey. The King's sceptre and orb, symbols of his power and authority, rest on a velvet-covered cushion at his feet. The King's elaborate coronation robes, made of crimson velvet and ermine, are a testament to the grandeur and tradition of the British monarchy. The ermine fur, a symbol of purity and royal power, covers the robes' edges, adding an air of elegance and opulence to the scene. The King's regalia, including the Imperial State Crown, sceptre, and orb, are all meticulously crafted and steeped in history, representing the rich heritage of the British monarchy. King George VI's coronation came at a time of great change for the monarchy and the country. Following the unexpected abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, George VI ascended to the throne at a time of uncertainty and instability. However, his strong leadership and unwavering commitment to duty helped to restore confidence and stability to the monarchy and the nation during a period of great upheaval. This powerful and evocative portrait captures the essence of King George VI's regal presence and the enduring allure of the British monarchy.
