My second installment of wonderful images from my grandparents’ Coronation Souvenir magazine from June 1953…
I wish I could just share the whole magazine with you, but these are some of my favorite images…
A close-up of the cover photo banner {entire cover shown in last post}
Isn’t this wonderful? The whole family on the balcony together…doesn’t Elizabeth look happy?
Such adorable ads were found on these pages, as well…here’s one for a whitening powder…
…both dresses look pretty white to me!
And more history to see--
My daughter pointed out that she doesn’t think she’s ever seen a picture of Lady Churchill—I don’t think I have either, come to think of it!
So much lovely color here and there in a mostly black & white publication…
And a few more ads to share…
And a product I use whenever I can find it—just the think for a nice trifle…
I actually just bought a tin of it last week at Cost Plus before I’d photographed images for the post—serendipity!
See you soon with something new…

So much fun to see Julie!... I love the photo of the Queen and her family on the balcony... what a treasure you have in your magazine... my nieces brought me that very tin of biscuits from London when they moved back home from there in August!... xoxo Julie Marie
