EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard commemorates the historic coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, along with their young daughter, Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II), on February 12, 1937. The image showcases the regal trio in their formal attire, with King George VI proudly wearing his coronation robes, adorned with the Imperial State Crown and various orders and medals. The Union Jack flag flies prominently behind them, symbolizing their British heritage and the unity of the Dominions. King George VI, born Prince Albert, Duke of York, ascended to the throne following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII. His wife, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, became Queen Consort, making her the first monarch to take the title without holding the reigning monarch's name. Their eldest daughter, Princess Elizabeth, is seen here in her young age, just a few years before she would become Queen herself in 1952. The photo captures the solemn yet hopeful atmosphere of the coronation ceremony, with the royal family standing before the altar, as they bow their heads in prayer, seeking God's blessings for their reign. This beautiful postcard serves as a precious keepsake, preserving the memory of this significant moment in British history.
