Koronation Korrect Kard

Satirical postcard mocking a Scotsman who has come to London for the Coronation of King Edward VII. Entitled 'Koronation Korrect Kard' the card is printed with a caricature of a Scotsman viewed from behind carrying a bottle of whisky under his arm and lifting his kilt to reveal a large backside wearing a pair of union jack underpants. Below is the verse 'McWhisters McPoodle McPing-Pong McPuff Was a Scot of renown and high station. He came up to London, and brought his own seat. to witness the King's Coronation'.
This souvenir was purchased by Ernest King from a London street trader on 20th June 1902. It was presumably produced for sale specifically in London and reveals Londoners satirical view of the stereotypical Scotsman. Ernest King first purchased a souvenir commemorating the coronation of King Edward VII in August 1901, nearly a year before the ceremony took place. However, he did not purchase a second souvenir until January 1902 and between this date and the original coronation date of 26th June 1902 the steady rise in his purchases indicates that the range and variety of souvenirs sold by street traders gradually increased over these months reaching a peak on 25th June. Although the Coronation was delayed until August due to the King being struck down with appendicitis on 24th June Ernest King only purchased one coronation souvenir after the 25th June. This suggests that manufacturers stopped producing souvenirs after June presumably assuming Londoner's enthusiasm for souvenirs and the coronation had reached a peak by this point.
