St. Edward's Crown, 1962: A Timeless Symbol of British Monarchy This image showcases St. Edward's Crown, an essential part of the British monarch's coronation regalia and a precious piece of the Crown Jewels. The crown, created in 1661, is a replica of the one believed to have been made for King Charles II following the destruction of the original during Oliver Cromwell's reign in the 17th century. The design of St. Edward's Crown is said to be inspired by the crown of King Edward the Confessor, dating back to the 11th century. The crown, richly adorned with gold, precious gems, and intricate designs, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the British monarchy. This stunning photograph, taken in the 1960s, is from "The Crown Jewels in the Tower of London" by Martin Holmes, a renowned British author and historian. The image captures the close-up details of the crown, revealing its intricate design and the vibrant colors of its jewels. St. Edward's Crown is a significant piece of British history and is part of the Royal Collection housed at the Tower of London. It has been a symbol of the monarchy's status and authority for centuries, and its presence at coronation ceremonies continues to mark the beginning of a new reign. This photograph, with its studio shot quality and meticulous attention to detail, offers a unique and up-close look at this magnificent piece of royal regalia. It is a must-have for any collection focusing on British history, art, or the monarchy.
