EDITORS COMMENTS
The Earl Marshal, heralds, and other officers of arms gather in anticipation for the coronation of King George VI at Westminster Abbey on 12 May 1937. This print by W Smithson Broadhead captures the essence of this grand royal event. The image showcases a moment frozen in time, as men dressed in traditional costumes adorned with fur and ermine wait solemnly inside the magnificent interior of Westminster Abbey. The atmosphere is filled with a sense of reverence and pageantry, reflecting the significance of this religious ceremony. Amongst the crowd stands Bernard Marmaduke Fitzalan-Howard, the 16th Duke of Norfolk and Earl Marshal of England. As one of the key figures responsible for organizing such events, his presence adds an air of authority to this historic occasion. King George VI himself can be seen in this composition, known then as Albert Frederick Arthur George Saxe-Coburg Gotha. He would go on to become an influential monarch within the House of Windsor during a tumultuous period in British history. This remarkable print not only captures a significant moment but also serves as a visual representation of British tradition and heritage during the early 20th century. It allows us to glimpse into a world where ceremony meets religion and where history unfolds before our eyes.
