EDITORS COMMENTS
This print commemorates the Royal Wedding of Prince Albert, Duke of York, and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, which took place at Westminster Abbey on 26th April 1923. The Duke, who later became King George VI, is depicted in the main image, dressed in his full regalia as a modern-day Prince of Wales, inspired by the character of Richard III from William Shakespeare's play. The allegorical drawing pays homage to the rich history of British monarchy and the timeless allure of Shakespearean drama. An inset photograph captures the genuine joy and radiance of the newlyweds as they exit the Abbey, surrounded by the grandeur of Windsor Castle. The Duke, with a proud and confident expression, holds the hand of his bride, Lady Elizabeth, who gazes at him with love and admiration. The couple's union represented a new beginning for the British monarchy, bringing hope and stability during a time of political and social change. This exquisite print is reminiscent of the Bystander Royal Wedding number, a commemorative publication that captured the essence and excitement of the historic event. The intricate detail and artistic flair of the drawing serve as a testament to the enduring allure of royal weddings and the profound impact they have on the hearts and minds of the people.
