EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful souvenir postcard commemorates the historic coronation of Their Majesties King George VI and Queen Elizabeth at Westminster Abbey on May 12, 1937. The image captures the regal elegance and solemnity of the occasion as the newly crowned King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, dressed in their magnificent robes and adorned with the iconic St. Edward's Crown, pose for the official coronation portrait. King George VI, who ascended to the throne following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, was the sixth monarch to be crowned at Westminster Abbey. His wife, Queen Elizabeth, became the first monarch to be crowned as a consort in her own right, breaking with tradition. The couple's strong bond and dedication to their duties as monarch and consort were evident throughout their reign. The intricate details of the postcard design showcase the grandeur of the coronation ceremony, with the ornate architecture of Westminster Abbey in the background and the regal attire of the attendees adding to the sense of occasion. The postcard serves as a cherished keepsake for those who attended the coronation or for those who wish to honor the history and tradition of the British monarchy. This postcard, created by Grenville Collins, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, and a reminder of the significance of this important moment in British history.
