Exhibition of Coronation Robes Australia 1938

Government of the Commonwealth of Australia, printed by John Sands, Sydney,  1938, illustrated with 4 coloured and 4 sepia plates, 

Very Good Condition, small tear to edge of front cover, mild crease in front cover, mild graze on front cover, watermark to back cover (see photographs)

'Through the wonders of wireless, the people of Australia, though 12,000 miles from the scene of the Coronation, were able to follow the service and to receive a mental picture of the splendour of the pageantry within the Abbey.  The present Exhibition will enable Australians to complete their impressions of the Ceremony.  

The gracious action of the King making available the Coronation Robes for exhibition in Australia is a further indication of the thoughtfulness of His Majesty for his people in this distant part of the Empire.'
