EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemnity and significance of Armistice Day in 1936 and 1937. Taken from the Coronation Souvenir Book of 1937, edited by Gordon Beckles, this image showcases a poignant moment in British history. The photograph features His Majesty King George VI, then known as Prince Albert Frederick Arthur George, alongside his wife Her Majesty Queen Mary. Dressed in military uniform, the Duke of York stands tall with a sense of duty and honor. Beside him is Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, affectionately known as "Mum" to her daughters Princess Elizabeth (the future Queen Elizabeth II) and Princess Margaret. This powerful portrayal of family unity amidst national remembrance highlights their unwavering support for their country during these turbulent times. The image also holds historical significance due to its connection with King Edward VIII's abdication just months before this Armistice Day celebration. As Edward VIII renounced the throne to marry Wallis Simpson, his younger brother Albert unexpectedly became king. Thus, this photograph becomes even more significant as it marks one of the first public appearances by King George VI after assuming his role as monarch. With its monochrome aesthetic capturing both strength and vulnerability within the royal family during an important national event, this print serves as a timeless reminder of sacrifice and resilience that resonates through generations.
