EDITORS COMMENTS
Wishing you a jolly and traditional Christmas this year! This charming image captures the essence of the Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace, a beloved British holiday tradition. The scene is set in the heart of London, with the grand palace facade serving as a regal backdrop. The changing of the guard is an ancient ritual that dates back to the 15th century, symbolizing the passing of responsibility and duty from one regiment to another. In this photograph, the outgoing Scots Guards, dressed in their iconic bearskin hats and red tunics, are seen marching off in relief, while the incoming guards, also in their distinctive uniforms, prepare to take their place. The formal and marching guardsmen, with their stern expressions and rigid posture, exude an air of discipline and pride. The crisp winter air and festive Christmas decorations add to the joyful and happy atmosphere. This beautiful design, created by Harry Payne for Raphael Tuck & Sons around 1908, is a timeless and treasured Christmas greetings card that evokes the spirit of the season and the rich history of the British military.
