EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating photograph titled "Telling the City, 1937" transports us back to a significant moment in British history. The image captures the proclamation of King Edward VIII at the Royal Exchange on January 22,1936. Published in the Coronation Souvenir Book of 1937 and edited by Gordon Beckles, this print holds immense historical value. In this panoramic shot, we witness a diverse group of men standing together outside the iconic Royal Exchange building in London's City. Dressed impeccably in military uniforms and elegant attire, they exude an air of importance and anticipation. Among them is HRH The Duke of Windsor himself - formerly known as Prince Edward - who would later abdicate his throne for love. This snapshot freezes a moment when Britain was on the cusp of change; it encapsulates both grandeur and uncertainty. As town crier proclaims King Edward VIII's ascension to power, one cannot help but wonder about the thoughts running through each individual's mind during this historic event. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this composition while emphasizing its timeless quality. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and modernity, tradition remains deeply rooted within British society. Preserved by The Print Collector under their Letterbox format collection, this photograph allows us to delve into our past with curiosity and appreciation for those who have shaped our present-day world.
