Description

Two unsigned items related to the funeral of King George VI, whose struggles were immortalized in the Oscar-winning film The King's Speech: a black-bordered printed invitation to the "Funeral of His Late Majesty King George VI at the Royal Chapel of Saint George, at Windsor, on Friday, 15th February, 1952," one page, 8 x 13, blindstamped at the top with the seal of the Earl Marshal of England; and the printed program booklet from the ceremony, 39 pages, 8 x 13, containing names of all those taking part in the procession of the Royal Coffin from Westminster Hall, where the late King had lied in state, to St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle for burial. In overall fine condition, with some small edge tears and chipping to the program book, and a couple ballpoint notations to back cover.
