EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures Edward VIII, the Duke of Windsor, in his full regal splendor as King of England, dressed in his magnificent coronation uniform. The year is 1937, and Edward's reign, which began in 1936 following the abdication of his father, King George V, is in full swing. The King wears the traditional crimson velvet and gold brocade uniform, complete with the iconic ermine-trimmed cape, the Star of India and the Order of the Garter sash. The image of the monarch is beautifully preserved on this Family Journal Coronation Year Blotter, adding a touch of royal history and elegance to any desk or workspace. The King holds his coronation sword in his right hand, symbolizing his power and authority, while the regal crown sits atop his head, adorned with precious stones and gold. The medals on his chest represent various orders and decorations bestowed upon him throughout his life. This photograph, taken during the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and majesty of the British monarchy during a pivotal period in its history. Edward VIII reigned until 1936, when he abdicated the throne to marry Wallis Simpson. He passed away in 1972, leaving behind a legacy that continues to fascinate and intrigue people around the world.
