EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous night in British history - the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (later known as the Queen Mother) in 1937. The image showcases a bustling crowd outside the iconic Selfridges store on Oxford Street, London, eagerly awaiting this grand event. The atmosphere is electric as people from all walks of life gather to witness this historic occasion. Men in smart suits and women adorned in elegant dresses fill the streets, creating a vibrant tapestry of British culture. Their faces are filled with anticipation and excitement, reflecting their admiration for the royal family. The photograph not only documents an important milestone for Britain but also serves as an illustration for "The Coronation in Pictures" published by Allied Newspapers that same year. It offers us a glimpse into how people celebrated such occasions during that era. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back to a time when royalty held immense significance within society. It reminds us of the deep-rooted traditions and rich history that continue to shape modern-day Britain. This remarkable photograph is part of a private collection preserved by Bridgeman Images, allowing us to appreciate its historical value today.
