EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard, produced for the charitable benefit of young soldiers and French institutions in 1938, captures a significant moment in the history of Anglo-French relations. The image depicts a demonstration of unity between British royalty and the French government, with King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of England warmly greeting French President Albert Francois Lebrun. The three leaders stand before the backdrop of the Union Jack and the Tricolor flags, symbolizing the continued Entente Cordiale - the special relationship and understanding between Britain and France. The scene takes place on the 28th of June, 1938, in London. King George VI, dressed in military uniform, and Queen Elizabeth, wearing a stunning tiara, extend a gracious welcome to President Lebrun, who is seen bowing in response. The inset ovals at the bottom of the postcard show portraits of the three leaders, further emphasizing the personal connection and link between the two nations. The purpose of this joint display of unity was to strengthen the bond between Britain and France and promote peace, as well as to raise funds for charitable institutions supporting young soldiers from both countries. The patriotic sentiment is palpable, as the leaders stand together, demonstrating the enduring bond between their peoples. This historical postcard is a testament to the long-standing friendship and cooperation between Britain and France, and serves as a reminder of the importance of unity and peace in times of strife. The image is a beautiful and poignant representation of the shared history and connection between these two great nations.
