Description: | This glass was produced to commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on 2 June 1953. A range of mass-produced and limited edition souvenirs were made. The government's decision to forbid the importation of foreign commemorative ware and lift the purchase tax on souvenirs gave a tremendous boost to the struggling post-war economy and helped many shops and businesses, including Selfridges, achieve record profits for the year. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | Power and Politics Identity and Icons | Temporal: | 1953 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
