EDITORS COMMENTS
A Regal Procession of Beauty and Grace: Celebrating the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II with Coty, 1953 This evocative print advertisement from the Tatler Coronation Number of 1953, published in the aftermath of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation on June 2, 1953, showcases the timeless allure of the Coty brand. The advertisement features a captivating illustration of the state coach, adorned with intricate gold and crimson embellishments, pulled by a multitude of elegant white doves. The serene birds, symbolizing peace and purity, gracefully lead the carriage, evoking a sense of tranquility and majesty. The advertisement's text begins with a beautifully crafted poem by renowned English playwright Ben Jonson, which reads: "Ode to a Queen: In her bright eyes, the stars of heaven reflect, And in her heart, the love of her people perfect." This verse pays homage to the newly crowned monarch, emphasizing her regal beauty and the connection she shares with her subjects. Beneath the poem, a heartfelt dedication to Queen Elizabeth II is inscribed: "To Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, May this day be the first of many glorious years, in peace, happiness and prosperity, for her people and for her reign." This heartfelt message underscores the significance of the coronation and the hope for a prosperous future under her leadership. As the world celebrated the momentous occasion, Coty, a leading name in the realm of fragrances and cosmetics, took the opportunity to honor the monarch and her people with this exquisite advertisement. The image of the state coach, pulled by the graceful white doves, serves as a stunning testament to the enduring beauty and elegance of the royal event, while the poetic verse and dedication to the Queen further emphasize the brand's commitment to timeless values and traditions.
