EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the wedding between Prince Albert, Duke of York, and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon in 1923. The grand ceremony took place at Westminster Abbey in London, showcasing a beautiful blend of religious traditions and regal pageantry. As one of the most significant events of the 20th century, this royal union symbolized unity and hope for Britain. The image showcases the radiant couple standing before an awe-inspiring congregation within the majestic walls of Westminster Abbey. Dressed in their exquisite wedding attire, they exude grace and elegance as they exchange vows that would forever bind them together. The photograph is part of a series called "Our King And Queen" produced by W. D. & H. O. Wills for The Imperial Tobacco Company in 1937. It offers a glimpse into British history through its depiction of this monumental occasion. Notably, Prince Albert later became King George VI alongside his beloved wife who was known as Queen Elizabeth or more affectionately referred to as "the Queen Mother". Their reign during challenging times endeared them to their subjects even further. As we gaze upon this timeless snapshot frozen in monochrome hues, we are reminded not only of their love but also their commitment to duty and service to their country. This print serves as a cherished memento from an era filled with tradition, romance, and enduring royalty that continues to captivate our imaginations today.
