EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'The Crowned King George VI Seated on the Coronation Chair' by Photochrom Co Ltd of London, dates back to 1937 and captures a significant moment in British history. The image showcases King George VI, then Albert Frederick Arthur George Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, but later known as Albert Frederick Arthur George Windsor, wearing the Imperial State Crown and the Robes of State, as he sits on the Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey. Surrounding the monarch are various dignitaries, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Duke of York, and other bishops and clergy members, all dressed in their ceremonial attire. The Coronation Chair, also known as King Edward's Chair, is a historic piece that has been used for coronations since King Edward the Confessor in 1066. The photograph is a testament to the grandeur and tradition of the British monarchy and the coronation ceremony. The image also symbolizes the power and influence of the British Empire and Commonwealth, with its reach extending to British India and the British Raj. The photograph's black and white tones add a sense of timelessness and gravitas to the scene, making it a fascinating piece of historical documentation. The photograph's composition and lighting effectively convey the solemnity and importance of the occasion, while the intricate details of the clothing and accessories add depth and texture to the image. Overall, this photograph is a remarkable representation of a pivotal moment in British history and a beautiful example of the artistry and skill of Photochrom Co Ltd of London.
