EDITORS COMMENTS
Celebrating the Grand Occasion: The Royal Wedding of Prince George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina of Kent (1934) The front cover of this historic issue of the Illustrated London News (ILN) proudly announces the marriage of Prince George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark, which took place at the revered Westminster Abbey on the 29th of November, 1934. The cover features a captivating portrait of Princess Marina, specially commissioned and painted by renowned artist John St. Helier Lander for the ILN. Princess Marina, dressed in an elegant white gown and veil, gazes serenely at the viewer, her regal bearing and poised expression embodying the grace and dignity befitting a future Duchess of Kent. The cover design, with its intricate gold detailing and ornate border, further emphasizes the grandeur and significance of the royal event. The marriage of Prince George and Princess Marina, who were both in their late twenties at the time, was a joyous occasion for the British people, who had been eagerly anticipating the nuptials. The couple's union marked the beginning of a new chapter in their lives and the continuation of the royal lineage. John St. Helier Lander, a celebrated painter of portraits and genre scenes, was an ideal choice for creating this striking cover image. His artistic talent and attention to detail brought Princess Marina to life, immortalizing the momentous occasion for future generations to cherish. This cover remains a testament to the enduring allure of royal weddings and the power of art to capture the essence of history.
