22nd Cordiale Coronation Entente Ermine Feb17 Heraldry Monarch Royals Ruler Souvenir
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming souvenir postcard commemorates the historic coronation of King George V of the United Kingdom and his queen consort, Queen Mary, on the 22nd of June, 1911. The image captures the grandeur and magnificence of the royal ceremony, as the newly crowned monarch and his wife, dressed in their regal attire, appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Surrounded by ermine-trimmed robes and heraldic symbols of the British Empire, they wave to the cheering crowds below, symbolizing the unity and strength of the monarchy. The postcard's design reflects the Entente Cordiale, the reconciliation and alliance between the United Kingdom and France, which was established in 1904. The French origin of this souvenir postcard is evident in the text at the bottom, which reads "Le Couronnement de Georges V Roi et de Marie Reine du Royaume-Uni le 22 Juin 1911." (The Coronation of George V King and Mary Queen of the United Kingdom on 22nd June 1911). The image of the royal couple, framed by the Union Jack and French tricolor flags, represents the peaceful coexistence and cooperation between these two powerful European nations. The intricate heraldic details and the sense of history and tradition conveyed in this postcard make it a cherished keepsake for collectors of royal memorabilia and historical artifacts.
