The Coronation Coach Viewed From Queen Victoria Memorial
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by the Photochrom Co. Ltd. of London in 1937, documenting a significant moment in British history. The image captures the Gold State Coach, which was used in the coronation procession of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (later known as the Queen Mother), as it passes by the Queen Victoria Memorial in London. King George VI, born Albert Frederick Arthur George Windsor, ascended to the throne following the abdication of his brother, Edward VIII. His wife, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, became the Queen Consort of King George VI. The couple's coronation took place on May 12, 1937, at Westminster Abbey, marking the beginning of their reign. The photograph shows the horse-drawn Gold State Coach, adorned with intricate gold detailing, making its way through the crowded streets of London. The Duchess of York (later Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother) and the Duke of York (later King George VI) can be seen waving to the cheering crowd from the coach. The facade of Buckingham Palace and the City of Westminster's buildings can be seen in the background, adding to the grandeur of the occasion. The photograph is a testament to the historical significance of the coronation, which marked the beginning of a new era for the British Empire and Commonwealth, including British India and the British Raj. The image encapsulates the excitement and anticipation of the people as they gathered to witness the event, making it a valuable historical record. The photograph's composition, with the Queen Victoria Memorial serving as a backdrop, highlights the continuity of the British monarchy, as the new king and queen pass by the memorial dedicated to their predecessor. Overall, "The Coronation Coach Viewed From Queen Victoria Memorial" is a striking visual representation of a pivotal moment in British history.
