Coronation Parliament Regalia Souvenir Westminster
EDITORS COMMENTS
This souvenir postcard commemorates the historic coronation of King George V and Queen Mary of the United Kingdom, which took place on June 22, 1911, at Westminster Abbey in London. The image captures the grandeur and pageantry of the event, with the flags of the British Empire flying high over the iconic buildings of the nation's capital. In the foreground, a chair adorned with the royal crest sits empty, symbolizing the throne that King George V has now assumed. The backdrop of the scene is the stunning architecture of Westminster Abbey, where the coronation ceremony took place. The Houses of Parliament and the River Thames can also be seen in the distance, adding to the sense of national pride and unity. Atop the Abbey, the St. Edward's Crown, one of the most famous symbols of the British monarchy, is visible, signifying the regalia used during the coronation ceremony. The royal family, including members of the extended royalty, are shown in portraits on the postcard, gazing proudly at the momentous occasion. King George V, dressed in his coronation robes, sits regally on his throne, while Queen Mary, wearing her coronation gown and crown, looks on with a serene expression. The couple's six children, Princesses Mary, Louise, Victoria, Maud, Alexander, and George, are also depicted, adding to the sense of family and tradition. This postcard is a testament to the historical significance of the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary, and serves as a beautiful reminder of the rich history and traditions of the Great British Monarchy. The postcard, dated 1910, is a cherished keepsake for those with an interest in history, royalty, and the United Kingdom.
