EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the First Great Seal of George VI, a significant historical artifact from the late 1930s. Created by artist George Kruger Gray, this wax seal represents the sovereignty and power of King George VI, who reigned over the United Kingdom and its dominions during a crucial period in history. The image captures the intricate details of the seal, with its inscription modified after India gained independence. The seal is displayed alongside an enchanting portrait of King George VI on horseback, symbolizing his regal stature and authority. The majestic horse adds to the grandeur of this composition, emphasizing both strength and elegance. As we delve into this piece's historical context, it becomes evident that it holds immense significance for British royalty enthusiasts. It serves as a reminder of King George VI's reign from 1936 until his untimely death in 1952. This particular version was used between 1938 and 1948 before being replaced by another design following India's independence. Preserved within The Royal Mint Museum in Llantrisant, UK, this print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its cultural importance.
