EDITORS COMMENTS
The New Reign Dawns, 1936 (1937) captures a significant moment in British history as King George VI embarks on his journey to the Accession Council. This photo print, featured in the Coronation Souvenir Book of 1937 edited by Gordon Beckles, showcases the grandeur of St James Palace on December 12th, 1936. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a group of men gathered outside the palace's majestic doorway. Among them is His Majesty himself, Prince Albert Frederick Arthur George Saxe Coburg Gotha - soon to be known as King George VI. Dressed in his military uniform with an air of regality surrounding him, he prepares to depart for this pivotal event that will mark his official ascension to the throne. The image also highlights an exquisite vintage automobile parked nearby. A symbol of progress and modernity during its time, it stands ready to transport the monarch through the bustling streets of London towards destiny. As we delve into this piece of historical literature and artistry from The Daily Express newspaper archives, we are transported back to a defining era in Britain's past. It serves as a testament not only to royal power but also reflects upon societal changes and technological advancements prevalent during the early 20th century.
