EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'Yeoman of King's Bodyguard of Yeomen of the Guard,' dates back to 1937 and is an intriguing fusion of the 16th and 20th centuries. The image is taken from the collection 'The Coronation of H.M. King George VI and H.M. Queen Elizabeth 1937,' published by John Player & Sons, London. The Yeoman of the Guard, also known as Beefeaters, is an elite and ancient ceremonial bodyguard of the Sovereign of the United Kingdom, tracing its origins back to the 15th century. In this photograph, a solitary Yeoman stands tall and proud, dressed in his traditional Tudor-style uniform, complete with a red doublet, hose, and a tall, fur-trimmed hat. His stockings are held up by garters, and he carries a halberd, a weapon symbolizing his military role. Despite the image being taken in the 20th century, the Yeoman's appearance remains authentic, maintaining the rich history and tradition of his profession. The photograph's full-length composition allows the viewer to appreciate the intricate details of his uniform, from the colorful fabric to the polished armor. The Yeoman's stoic expression and confident posture exude a sense of pride and duty, making this photograph a fascinating representation of the enduring role of the Yeomen of the Guard in British history and tradition. This photograph, with its blend of the old and the new, is a testament to the timeless allure of pageantry and the importance of preserving traditions.
