EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the breathtaking beauty and grandeur of Queen Elizabeth, the consort of King George VI, as she donned the magnificent Queens Coronation Robe during the coronation ceremony in 1937. The robe, officially known as the Robe of State, was a symbol of the monarch's power and authority, and was a sight to behold with its six-yard-long train of rich purple velvet, bordered with a five-inch band of fur, and lined with ermine. The velvet fabric was intricately embroidered with gold thread, featuring a design by Miss Fuller of the Royal School of Needlework, under the supervision of Lady Smith-Dorrien, Principal of the School. The design embodied the floral emblems of the British Empire, including the Tudor rose, thistle, and shamrock, as well as the Dominion emblems, such as the Canadian maple leaf, Australian wattle, New Zealand fern leaf, South African protea, and Indian lotus. The center of the robe bore a large, double E, representing the monarch's initials, and the crown of the United Kingdom. The lavish and ceremonial robe was a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy, making it an unforgettable sight at this momentous occasion. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the grandeur and splendor of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth and King George VI in 1937.
