EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the arrival of H. H. The Prince Aga Khan and the Begum Aga Khan on May 12,1937. Published in the Coronation Souvenir Book of 1937, edited by Gordon Beckles for the Daily Express, this image showcases the distinguished couple amidst an eventful day. The age difference between H. H. The Prince Aga Khan (Mohammed Shah) and the Begum Aga Khan is apparent as they step out together. Their attire reflects their status as dignitaries, with both dressed elegantly for this special occasion. The Duke of York, later known as King George VI, can also be seen among other guests present at this gathering. As leaders within Islam and representatives of India's rich cultural heritage, H. H. The Prince Aga Khan and his wife stand tall against a picturesque outdoor backdrop that hints at their country of origin - Hindoostan (India). This monochrome photograph not only captures a historical moment but also serves as a testament to their enduring marriage. Preserved through literature in the form of this souvenir book from Britain, this image offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in time when cultures converged and alliances were formed. It reminds us that even amidst political events such as coronations, love stories continue to unfold across borders.
