EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The new Great Seal of England for the reign of George VI". The intricate design is expertly engraved at the Royal Mint, using the models created by Mr G. Kruger Gray. Crafted from solid silver, these seals exude a sense of grandeur and elegance. In earlier times, sealing wax was used to create seal impressions. However, this modern era has witnessed the emergence of a revolutionary bakelite product that now replaces traditional methods. This transition represents a fusion between tradition and innovation. The photograph captures two plaster casts side by side, allowing us to appreciate both sides of this remarkable seal. Its roundel shape encases an array of symbolic elements on both the obverse and reverse sides. The front displays regal heads while the back features intriguing tails. Dating back to 26th February 1938, this image provides a glimpse into history during the interwar period in Britain. It serves as a testament to craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating such an important symbol for King George VI's reign. Royalty enthusiasts will find themselves captivated by this extraordinary piece - its significance extends beyond mere aesthetics; it represents power, authority, and continuity within British monarchy.
