This is an official program or programme for the coronation in 1937 of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of England, parents of the current Queen Elizabeth II. The over sized program has a gorgeous design embellished with gold and measures 11.25 inches high by 8.25 inches wide when closed. The program has 32 pages and include portraits of the King and Queen and Queen Mother Mary, the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose, a map of the route, order of the procession, order of service and history of the various objects used during the coronation. The program is in very nearly mint condition with only minor discoloring to the spine edge around the staples and a pristine back cover...which is the best I have had. The coronation program and cost 1 shilling. A wonderful piece of royal memorabilia.
