EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Three Swords of State - Crown Jewels: A Triumph of Regal Grandeur and Ceremonial Weaponry in 1930s London This photograph captures the essence of the Three Swords of State, an integral part of the British monarchy's regalia, housed within the Tower of London. The image, taken in 1936, showcases the Sword of State, the Jewelled State Sword, and Curtana, the Sword of Mercy, each radiating an aura of history, tradition, and power. The Sword of State, the central sword in the image, is a symbol of the monarch's authority and is used during the State Opening of Parliament. Its golden hilt is adorned with precious stones, including a ruby, an emerald, and a sapphire. The blade, though not visible in the photograph, is reportedly made of Damascus steel. To the left of the Sword of State lies the Jewelled State Sword, another ceremonial weapon used during the coronation of a monarch. This sword, a marvel of craftsmanship, is encrusted with a myriad of precious and semi-precious stones, including rubies, emeralds, and sapphires. The hilt is further embellished with gold and pearls. The third sword, Curtana, is the Sword of Mercy, which is not used for combat but rather for the symbolic act of touching the new monarch's shoulder during their coronation. This sword, believed to have been brought to England by the Crusaders, is known for its distinctive feature - a single sharp edge. The photograph, taken in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy. The Three Swords of State, with their gold-plated handles and jewels, stand as a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the monarchy, making this image a must-have for history enthusiasts, art collectors, and anyone interested in the intricacies of royal regalia.
