EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the distinguished figure of The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Cosmo Gordon Lang, in 1937. Dr Lang was a prominent Scottish Anglican prelate who held the positions of Archbishop of York from 1908 to 1928 and later became Archbishop of Canterbury from 1928 to 1942. Known for his significant role in presiding over the coronation ceremony of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in May 1937, this image showcases him at the height of his ecclesiastical career. The portrait exudes an air of authority as Dr Lang stands confidently dressed in his religious attire. His bald head adds to his distinctive appearance while he gazes directly into the camera with a sense of purpose. The intricately embroidered cloak draped around him features floral patterns that add elegance to his ensemble. Published by RJ Lea Ltd in Manchester as part of their Coronation Souvenir cigarette cards collection, this particular card holds number 25 out of a total set comprising 48 cards. It serves as a visual testament to an important moment in British history when monarchy and religion converged during a time when Scotland played a significant role. Overall, this monochrome studio shot encapsulates not only the persona but also the influence that Dr Cosmo Gordon Lang had on both church affairs and national events during the early twentieth century.
