Object of the Day: A Postcard of King George V and Queen Mary

Click on image to enlarge.



In honor of the 119th anniversary of the marriage of King George V and Queen Mary, let’s take a look at another postcard from my growing collection of Royalty-related ephemera. This card by Davidson Brothers Correspondence of London and New York features photographic portraits of King George V and Queen Mary in commemoration of their 1911 Coronation. 

Sent from a Mrs. Maskill in Doncaster to her mother in 1911, the posted card bears a stamp—brand new at the time—with an image of George V.
