EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful Coronation Souvenir Postcard captures the momentous occasion of the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth on the 12th of May, 1937. The image showcases the regal couple seated on the Throne in Westminster Abbey, surrounded by the ancient Coronation Stone and the symbols of the Scepter, Orb, and Rod of Authority. The inset portrait of King George VI, dressed in his full regalia, gazes out with an air of majesty and authority. King George VI, who ascended to the throne following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, was the first monarch to be crowned in the newly rebuilt Westminster Abbey after a devastating fire in 1926. The coronation was a grand affair, attended by thousands of people and broadcasted live on radio to millions around the world. The Queen, wearing the Imperial State Crown and a gown of white satin and lace, sits gracefully beside her husband, her regal presence adding to the solemnity and significance of the event. The flags of the United Kingdom fly proudly outside the Abbey, symbolizing the unity and pride of the British people. The royal family, including the Duke of York (later King George VI's successor, King George VI), the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth's eldest daughter, Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh), and other members of the royal household, are also present in the Abbey, adding to the sense of tradition and continuity. This Coronation Souvenir Postcard is a cherished piece of history, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and majesty of a royal event that brought the British people together in a time of unity and pride.
