Beneath the Quadriga, May 12 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a momentous day in British history. The photo print, taken from the Coronation Souvenir Book of 1937, transports us back to a time when King George VI was crowned as the ruler of Great Britain. The image showcases Hyde Park Corner in London, where a grand procession is taking place. A magnificent horse-drawn carriage carrying the newly crowned king and his queen consort, Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyon, elegantly passes beneath the iconic Quadriga statue. This photograph not only documents a significant event but also symbolizes the strength and unity of the British Empire during this era. The regal chariot represents power and authority while being pulled by majestic horses signifies grace and nobility. Intriguingly captured in black and white, this image adds an air of nostalgia to its historical significance. It allows us to imagine ourselves witnessing this extraordinary scene firsthand – feeling the excitement that must have filled the air on that memorable day. As we gaze upon this snapshot from our past, we are reminded of how art can immortalize moments that would otherwise fade into obscurity. This particular photograph serves as a testament to both Albert Frederick Arthur George's ascension to kingship and Gordon Beckles' talent for capturing history through his lens.
