EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases HM King George VI (1895-1952) in 1937, exuding regal elegance. The monarch is depicted wearing the distinguished uniform of a Colonel of the Scots Guards, radiating authority and power. This image holds significant historical value as it is Card No 1 out of a series of 48 Coronation Souvenir cigarette cards produced for Tournament Cigarettes by RJ Lea Ltd in Manchester. King George VI's portrait captures his noble presence during this royal event. As the sovereign ruler of Great Britain, he bears the weighty responsibility that comes with his position. His medals proudly displayed on his chest symbolize his dedication to duty and service to his nation. The photograph offers a glimpse into British history during the thirties, showcasing both an iconic figure and a specific military regiment - the Scots Guards. Published by The Print Collector, this monochrome print preserves an important moment from the twentieth century. HM King George VI was known not only as a king but also as Albert Frederick Arthur George Saxe-Coburg-Gotha or simply Duke of York before ascending to the throne. This remarkable image serves as a lasting tribute to his reign and legacy while commemorating an extraordinary coronation ceremony.
