Coronation souvenir
Postcard commemorating the coronation of King George V. The postcard features a photograph of King George V surrounded by a semi-circle of stereotyped individuals and flags from Great Britain and their colonies. On the right side of the postcard, a list of important dates in the life of King George V and the Royal Coat of Arms are featured. Charles C. Myers notes the U.S.S. Delaware was the only ship to be in England at the time of the coronation, and the men from the ship were treated well. Myers also notes the cost of a penny stamp compared to a stamp in the United States.
