EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Imperial Crown of India, a symbol of power and grandeur from the 1937 Coronation Souvenir Book. Crafted with meticulous detail, this crown represents the opulence of the British Empire during its zenith. The cream background beautifully contrasts with the gleaming silver metal adorned with precious diamonds that sparkle under studio lights. The intricate design features ermine fur lining, adding an air of regality to this majestic piece. This crown was worn by King George VI, formerly known as Prince Albert Frederick of Wales, during his coronation as Emperor of India. Gordon Beckles, editor of the Daily Express in London at that time, curated this extraordinary collection in commemoration of such a significant royal event. His expertise in capturing historical moments is evident through this stunning monochrome image. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, it serves as a reminder not only of Britain's imperial past but also highlights the craftsmanship and artistry involved in creating such magnificent objects. It allows us to appreciate our rich heritage and understand how these symbols played a crucial role in shaping history. This print from The Print Collector provides us with an opportunity to delve into our past and marvel at the splendor encapsulated within one single object – The Imperial Crown of India.
