1937: A Portrait of Tradition and Authority This photograph captures the essence of the Speaker of the House of Commons in the United Kingdom during the coronation year of 1937. The identity of the creator remains unknown, but the image is a striking addition to the extensive collection of "The Coronation of H.M. King George VI and H.M. Queen Elizabeth 1937" published by John Player & Sons, London. The full-length portrait showcases the Speaker of the House of Commons, Edward Algernon Fitzroy, dressed in the traditional attire of the position. He wears a long, red robe, adorned with ermine trim and a gold chain of office around his neck. The Speaker's wig, a symbol of the office's historical significance, sits atop his head, adding to the grandeur of the scene. The Speaker's attire is completed with a white shirt, black waistcoat, and a pair of white gloves. The intricate detailing of the robe and the Speaker's stern expression convey a sense of authority and tradition. The photograph, taken during the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the rich history and pageantry of British politics.
