EDITORS COMMENTS
This front cover illustration is taken from The Sketch's Coronation Festivities number, published in December 1953. The image beautifully encapsulates the jubilant mood of the post-Coronation celebrations that swept through Britain. The central figure of the illustration is a woman, elegantly dressed in a typical 1950s party gown. Her dress, adorned with intricate floral patterns, exudes an air of sophistication and glamour. Surrounded by a riot of colours, the woman is engulfed by a sea of balloons and streamers. The vibrant red, blue, and gold hues of the decorations add a sense of excitement and joy to the scene. The illustration, created by an unknown artist for The Sketch magazine, is a testament to the historical significance of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The image not only captures the essence of the festivities but also provides a glimpse into the fashion and design trends of the time. The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II took place on June 2, 1953, at Westminster Abbey, London. The event marked the formal installation of Queen Elizabeth II as the monarch of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and several other countries. The Coronation was a grand spectacle, attended by over 8,000 guests and watched by an estimated 27 million people in the UK alone. This illustration from The Sketch's Coronation Festivities number is an important historical document that provides a visual representation of the Coronation celebrations and the mood of the time. It is a reminder of a bygone era, characterized by optimism, hope, and joy.
