EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures Edward VIII in full regalia, as he would have appeared at his coronation in 1937 had he not abdicated from the throne just a few weeks prior in December of that year. The photograph presents a striking tableau of the former king, resplendent in his robes and adorned with the magnificent jewels of the Crown, including the Imperial State Crown and the sceptre and orb. The scene is set against the backdrop of a grand pageant, with attendees in period costume and the solemn expressions of the clergy and nobility reflecting the historical significance of the event. Edward VIII's abdication in December 1936 was a pivotal moment in British history, as the king chose to relinquish his throne in order to marry Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee. The decision shocked the nation and marked the end of an era, with Edward's brother, George VI, ascending to the throne. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the events and scenes that might have transpired had history taken a different course. The meticulously crafted details of Edward's costume, from the velvet and ermine-trimmed mantle to the intricate embroidery on the robe, underscore the grandeur and tradition of the coronation ceremony. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and pageantry of the British monarchy.
