EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking illustration captures the moment of history as King George VI is crowned in Westminster Abbey, London, on December 12, 1937. The image, published by the Illustrated London News Ltd, shows the newly crowned monarch seated on the throne, his regal attire adorned with the Imperial State Crown and the Orb and Sceptre. The blank pages of the coronation order lie before him, ready to be filled with the important decrees that would shape his reign. King George VI ascended to the throne following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, in December 1936. The coronation ceremony, which took place six months later, was a significant event in British history, marking the beginning of a new era. The importance of this moment is evident in the solemn expressions of those present, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, who administers the coronation oath, and the Duke of Norfolk, who holds the Sword of State. This illustration, which appeared in the Illustrated London News on December 18, 1937, is an invaluable archival record of this historic occasion. It provides a glimpse into the full ceremony, which included the anointing, the investiture of the robes and insignia, and the homage of the lords spiritual and temporal. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the continuity of the British monarchy and the importance of tradition in the face of change.
