May 13, 1937
LEOMINSTER DAILY ENTERPRISE, Massachusetts, May 13, 1937
* King George VI coronation
* United Kingdom
This 12 page newspaper has three, two column photos on the front page with caption: "CAMERA RECORD OF HIGH LIGHTS AT CORONATION". (see) More related photos inside.
Other news of the day. There is a small mention on the front page of Werner Franz, the cabin boy who survived the Hindenburg disaster. Little margin wear, otherwise in good condition.
wikipedia notes: George VI's coronation took place on 12 May 1937, the date previously intended for Edward's coronation. In a break with tradition, Queen Mary attended the ceremony as a show of support for her son. There was no Durbar held in Delhi for George VI, as had occurred for his father, as the cost would have been a burden to the government of India. Rising Indian nationalism made the welcome that the royal couple would have received likely to be muted at best and a prolonged absence from Britain would have been undesirable in the tense period before World War II. Two overseas tours were undertaken, to France and North America, both of which promised greater strategic advantages in the event of war.
