EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful souvenir postcard features the portraits of King George V and his beloved wife, Queen Mary, to commemorate their historic coronation in 1911. King George V, who reigned from 1910 until his death in 1936, was the eldest son of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. He ascended to the throne following his father's death and was crowned at Westminster Abbey on June 22, 1911. Queen Mary, born Princess Mary of Teck, was the King's consort and the first monarch to be crowned in the new Coronation Chair, which was commissioned for the coronation of King Edward VII. The couple's coronation was a grand affair, attended by thousands of people and marked with great pomp and ceremony. Their majesties are depicted in this postcard in their regal attire, with King George V wearing the Imperial State Crown and the Robe of State, while Queen Mary is adorned in her magnificent coronation gown and the diamond diadem. The image captures the essence of their regal presence and the profound significance of their coronation as the monarchs of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions. This postcard is a cherished keepsake from a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of King George V and Queen Mary, whose reign was marked by stability, resilience, and a deep sense of duty to their people.
