EDITORS COMMENTS
Celebrating the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II: A Rural and Sporting Tribute on the Front Cover of Sport and Country Magazine, 1953 The front cover of the Sport and Country magazine's Coronation Number, published in 1953, showcases a captivating illustration that encapsulates the spirit of the countryside and the joyous occasion of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. The image features four quintessential rural and sporting figures: a huntsman, a dairy farmer, a shepherd, and a golfer, all united in their admiration for the new monarch. The huntsman, dressed in traditional red coat and hat, holds aloft a horn, signaling the start of a hunt. The dairy farmer, with a broad smile on his face, dons a flat cap and holds a milk pail. The shepherd, wearing a tweed jacket and carrying a crook, gazes up at the sky, while the golfer, dressed in plus fours and a sweater, brandishes a golf club. All four figures enthusiastically hail the golden crown that floats above them, symbolizing the new Queen's regalia and the promise of a prosperous and peaceful reign. The illustration captures the essence of the 1950s, a time when the countryside and traditional sports held a special place in the hearts of the British people. The cover of Sport and Country magazine serves as a testament to the enduring connection between the monarchy, the rural community, and the world of sport. This iconic image is a must-have for any collection of coronation memorabilia or for those interested in the social history of post-war Britain.
