22nd Coronation Crowned Loyal Monarch Monarchy Nations Peoples Ruler Save Souvenir Subjects

EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful souvenir postcard commemorates the historic coronation of King George V on June 22, 1911. King George V, born on June 3, 1865, ascended to the throne on May 6, 1910, following the death of his father, King Edward VII. The coronation took place at Westminster Abbey in London, England, and was attended by representatives from the various nations of the British Empire, demonstrating the far-reaching influence and loyalty of the monarchy at the time. The image on the postcard shows King George V, dressed in his regal robes and adorned with the Imperial State Crown, which was first used during the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902. The King's coat of arms, featuring the lion and unicorn, symbols of England and Scotland respectively, is prominently displayed on the postcard. The coronation of King George V marked the beginning of a new era for the British monarchy and the British Empire, which spanned over a quarter of the globe. The people of the nations and peoples of the Empire, as well as those in the United Kingdom, looked to their monarch as a unifying figure, a symbol of stability and continuity in a rapidly changing world. The coronation was a time of celebration and unity, bringing together the diverse subjects of the King and their shared loyalty to their ruler and to the imperial ideal. This postcard is a precious memento of this significant moment in history, capturing the imperial grandeur and the sense of unity and loyalty that characterized the British monarchy during the early 20th century.
