EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the Coronation of William III in Westminster Abbey, London, in 1689. Painted by John Pine, this masterpiece showcases the grandeur and significance of this royal event. The focal point is King William III himself, depicted offering his sword to the dean at the altar as a symbol of his commitment to protect and defend his kingdom. The scene is filled with figures dressed in elaborate ceremonial costumes, standing proudly on either side of the choir. Behind them, spectators can be seen both behind the altar and in the galleries, creating a sense of excitement and anticipation among the crowd. The interior of Westminster Abbey provides a majestic backdrop for this important religious ceremony. This engraving transports us back to 17th century England when monarchs held immense power and influence over their subjects. It serves as a reminder of our rich history and traditions that have shaped our present-day society. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this monochrome artwork by Joseph Highmore perfectly captures every intricate detail while evoking a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of King William III's coronation but also how art has preserved these significant moments for generations to come.
