Card of the Day - 2021-11-02

 O100-502  Ogden "Coronation Procession" (1937) 37/50
Ogden [tobacco : UK] "Coronation Procession" (1937) 37/50 - O100-502

This celebrates the first televised outside broadcast by the BBC, which was this 1937 Coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.

This card is part of a sectional set, making up a long continuous panorama with borders top and bottom. It is adhesive backed, and the cards advertise that there is a special folder for mounting (1937).  I`m not quite sure why they had the borders though, because I thought that it slipped inside the folder, and maybe flags were printed there and came down to cover it, but I was wrong. Any ideas why they did not just continue the image to the top of the card like most of the other sectional series?

The original reference code of this set, from our checklist booklet, was O/67. And the set was another of those which was also issued by Hignett.
