The Order of the Garter,
EDITORS COMMENTS
1937, is an evocative and intriguing full-length photograph that captures the essence of pageantry and tradition in 20th century Britain. The image, from the collection "The Coronation of H.M. King George VI and H.M. Queen Elizabeth 1937" by John Player & Sons, London, showcases a group of men dressed in the regalia of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. Established in 1348 by King Edward III, The Order of the Garter is the oldest and most senior chivalric order in the United Kingdom. Membership is limited to the monarch, the Prince of Wales, and 25 knights, who are chosen for their public and military merit. In the photograph, the men are dressed in the traditional garb of the Order, which includes a velvet mantle, a scarlet Tudor bonnet, a garter emblazoned with the royal arms, a collar, and a sword. The men's clothing is complete with stockings and cloaks, adding to the richness and depth of the image. The photograph, taken in the 1930s, showcases the timeless beauty and tradition of the Order of the Garter. The men, with their serious expressions and regal bearing, exude an air of dignity and importance. The use of color and fabric adds to the visual appeal of the image, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past. The photograph is a testament to the enduring power of tradition and the importance of ceremony and pageantry in British culture. It is a reminder of the rich history and heritage that continues to shape the United Kingdom today. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs or those interested in fashion, textiles, or British history.
