EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic natural color photograph captures a poignant moment in royal history, taken after the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother) in 1937. The newly crowned monarch is seen here with his two daughters, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, who are both dressed in their robes for the occasion. The King wears the Imperial State Crown, adorned with precious stones and gold, while the Queen Mother's crown features a diamond diadem and veil. The young princesses, dressed in white satin and lace, look up at their parents with a mixture of awe and excitement. The natural color process used in this photograph adds a unique and vibrant touch to the image, allowing the intricate details of the royal robes and crowns to shine. The warm tones of the photograph also create a sense of intimacy and nostalgia, capturing the essence of a historic moment in the royal family's history. The photograph was taken after the coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey, which took place on May 12, 1937. The event marked a significant turning point in the monarchy, as King George VI succeeded his brother, Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne just months prior. This photograph serves as a testament to the resilience and continuity of the British monarchy, as the new king and his family began their reign amidst the challenges of the 20th century. The photograph is a rare and valuable addition to the historical record of the royal family, offering a glimpse into the personal lives of the monarch and his children. The image has been preserved and made available through Mary Evans Prints Online, providing researchers, historians, and enthusiasts with a unique and fascinating look into the past.
