This stunning cover image from the May 1937 Special Coronation Number of Britannia and Eve magazine captures the grandeur and historical significance of the coronation of King George VI. The King, who ascended to the throne following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, was crowned on May 12, 1937, in a ceremony rich in tradition and pageantry. The cover design features an extravagant orb and sceptre, both clad in gold and adorned with precious jewels. The orb, a symbol of sovereignty and power, is topped with a cross and is encrusted with jewels, including a large ruby and a sapphire. The sceptre, held in the hand of the figure of Britannia, is adorned with a large amethyst and gold decorations. The cover design reflects the opulence and grandeur of the coronation, which was a significant event in British history. The use of gold and jewels adds to the regal and majestic feel of the image, while the figure of Britannia represents the strength and resilience of the British people. This cover is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the historical and cultural significance of the coronation of King George VI in the 1930s.
