EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration depicts a pivotal moment in British history, the procession after the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1937. Following their marriage in 1923, the couple ascended to the throne unexpectedly upon the abdication of King Edward VIII. The coronation ceremony took place at Westminster Abbey on May 12, 1937, and marked the formal investiture of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth as monarchs of the United Kingdom and the Dominions. In this illustration, the newly crowned monarchs, resplendent in their regal attire and adorned with the sceptres of authority, make their first public appearance since the ceremony. They are seated in the magnificent golden State Coach, an iconic symbol of British monarchy, drawn by six white horses. The Yeomen of the Guard and other attendants, dressed in their distinctive livery of red and gold, accompany the royal couple. The procession from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace was a grand spectacle of pageantry and pomp, drawing thousands of spectators lining the streets to catch a glimpse of their Majesties. The coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth was a significant occasion, not only for the British people but also for the global community, as it came during a time of political and social change. This illustration serves as a testament to the enduring tradition and pageantry of the British monarchy.
