EDITORS COMMENTS
This Coronation Souvenir Card commemorates the historic event of the coronation of King George VI on May 12, 1937. The card features an inset portrait of the new monarch, King George VI (1895-1952), who ascended to the throne following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII. The image of the King is surrounded by intricate gold borders and the date of the coronation is prominently displayed. The front of Buckingham Palace is depicted on the card, adorned with the Union Jack and other British flags, symbolizing the national pride and excitement surrounding the coronation. The Coronation Coach, drawn by six white horses, is also shown in the background, adding to the regal atmosphere of the scene. King George VI, who was the sixth monarch to bear the name, was crowned in a grand ceremony at Westminster Abbey. The coronation marked a significant moment in British history, as the country was facing economic and political challenges following the Great Depression and the abdication crisis. The coronation provided a sense of unity and hope for the people, and the souvenir cards like this one were a popular way for them to commemorate the occasion. This card, with its elegant design and historical significance, is a beautiful reminder of the 1930s and the coronation of King George VI. The era of the 1930s, also known as the 30s or the thirties, was a time of change and uncertainty, but the coronation of a new monarch brought a sense of stability and continuity to the British people.
