EDITORS COMMENTS
This full-length portrait captures Sir Gerald Woods Wollaston, the Garter King of Arms, in traditional regalia during the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1937. The image is a striking representation of the grandeur and pageantry of the event, showcasing the intricate details of the herald's costume. The Garter King of Arms, an officer of arms in the British monarchy, is responsible for maintaining the records of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, the oldest and most senior British chivalric order. Sir Gerald Woods Wollaston wears the traditional attire of the position, which includes a scarlet robe edged with ermine, a white surcoat emblazoned with the Garter insignia, a blue velvet cap adorned with a white plume, and a crimson velvet mantle. He also holds a staff topped with a garter, symbolizing his role as the Keeper of the Garter. The portrait's rich color palette and meticulous attention to detail bring the historical significance of the occasion to life. This photograph is from the collection 'The Coronation of H.M. King George VI and H.M. Queen Elizabeth 1937' published by John Player & Sons, London. The image serves as a testament to the traditional dress and pageantry that surrounded the coronation, providing a glimpse into the past and the role of the College of Arms in British history.
