EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the ancient and revered Coronation Chair, also known as St Edward's Chair or King Edward's Chair, which has been used in the coronation ceremonies of British monarchs in Westminster Abbey since 1301. Commissioned by King Edward I in 1296, the chair was created to house the coronation stone of Scotland, which had been captured from the Scots and is also known as the Stone of Scone or Stone of Destiny. The chair is a significant symbol of British monarchy and tradition, and has been used in the coronations of every monarch since Edward II, with the exception of Edward V and Edward VIII. The print, titled "The Queen's Resolve and Her Doubly Royal Reign of Sixty Years," was published by "The Print Collector" in London, likely in the late 19th or early 20th century. The image shows the intricately carved and gothic chair, adorned with intricate patterns and designs, with a wooden throne-like structure behind it. The chair is shown in a dark, dimly lit room, adding to its mystical and historic atmosphere. The print also includes a quote from Reverend Charles Bullock's book, "The Queen's Resolve and Her Doubly Royal Reign of Sixty Years," which further highlights the significance of the chair and its role in the coronation ceremony. The print also mentions the chair's association with Queen Victoria, who reigned from 1837 to 1901, making her the longest-reigning monarch in British history. Overall, this print is a fascinating glimpse into the history and tradition of the British monarchy and the Coronation Chair, which continues to be an important symbol of the monarchy and the British people.
