EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing a historic moment in time, this print takes us back to the grandeur and excitement of the coronation procession for Queen Elizabeth II on June 2nd, 1953. Taken from an elevated view atop Admiralty Arch, we are transported to Trafalgar Square, where throngs of enthusiastic crowds line the streets with anticipation. The iconic Nelson's Column stands tall in the distance, serving as a symbol of national pride. The atmosphere is electric as military personnel march in perfect formation while elegantly dressed dignitaries make their way through the cheering masses. Every detail is meticulously captured by MoW's lens - from the intricate uniforms to fluttering flags that proudly display allegiance to Malaya and Singapore. A particularly striking feature is a banner adorning Malaya House proclaiming 'Malaya and Singapore Acclaim Their Queen. ' This powerful declaration showcases not only loyalty but also highlights the significance of this momentous occasion for these regions. This print serves as a testament to both historical importance and artistic excellence. It allows us to relive this monumental event and appreciate the sheer magnitude of emotions felt by all who witnessed it firsthand. A true treasure from Historic England's collection.
