Our next “Obscure Book,” entitled "The Imperishable Glory of Britain's Royal Heritage," was also published by the Pitkin Publishing Company in 1952 in preparation for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and as part of Pitkin’s “Pride of Britain” series. A documentary film was also produced in conjunction with this book. Both chronicle the history of the Royal Family, paying special attention to Elizabeth II’s role in the future of the monarchy.
Some of the more interesting portions of the book recount the histories of important works of art and jewels as well as the Coronation Regalia. My favorite part is a Christmas message from 1952 wherein the Queen urges the nation to pray for her on the day of her coronation.
Let’s take a look inside…
