EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph from 1953, a proud and excited lady stands in her living room, watching as her husband and a wallpaper hanger carefully hang a new Coronation wallpaper. The room is filled with the regal atmosphere of the occasion, with the golden crowns and intricate designs of the wallpaper adding to the sense of grandeur and celebration. The lady's expression is one of delight and anticipation, as she eagerly looks forward to the completion of the project. Her husband, standing beside her, rolls his eyes and quips, "I still say you're going to be awfully tired of it next year." His words are spoken in good humor, but they reveal the common sentiment of the time that such fads and decorating trends were fleeting and would soon go out of style. Despite his skepticism, the lady remains unphased and continues to watch with enthusiasm as the wallpaper is hung. The image captures the spirit of the 1950s, a time of monarchist fervor and the embrace of all things regal and royal. The cartoonish design of the wallpaper, with its playful use of crowns and other regal motifs, adds to the amusing and lighthearted tone of the scene. Overall, this photograph is a delightful snapshot of a moment in history, one that captures the humor and charm of the era.
