EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Glamis Castle in 1937. With its rich history dating back to the 14th century, this remarkable castle has been the cherished home of the Lyon family for generations. The present structure primarily reflects architectural elements from the 17th century, making it a stunning example of Scottish fortification. Glamis Castle holds a special place in British royalty as it was once the childhood residence of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, wife of King George VI. This iconic building served as a backdrop to her formative years and witnessed significant moments in her life. The image is part of a Coronation Souvenir cigarette card collection produced by RJ Lea Ltd in Manchester during that era. It captures Glamis Castle's grand facade against an outdoor setting, emphasizing its timeless beauty and historical significance. As we gaze upon this monochrome photograph, we are transported back to Scotland's past – an era filled with elegance and charm. Its inclusion among other notable landmarks within this collector's series highlights Glamis Castle's status as a listed building and symbolizes its importance within British heritage. Let us cherish this glimpse into history through the lens of The Print Collector, appreciating not only the architectural marvel but also honoring Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyon – later known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother – whose connection to Glamis Castle adds another layer of fascination to this extraordinary image.
