EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print captures the moment of the coronation of Carl XV, also known as Charles XIV John, as the King of Sweden and Norway in 1860. The image was taken during the grand ceremony held in Trondheim, Norway, which marked the formal union of the two Scandinavian countries under one monarch. Carl XV, born in 1826 in Sweden, had previously served as the Prince Regent of Sweden from 1859 following the death of his father, King Oscar I. However, his accession to the throne was not limited to Sweden alone, as he also inherited the Norwegian crown following the death of his uncle, King Oscar I of Norway. The coronation ceremony in Trondheim was a significant event in Norwegian history, marking the end of the personal union between Norway and Denmark and the beginning of a new era of Swedish rule. The event was attended by dignitaries and representatives from both Sweden and Norway, as well as foreign diplomats and members of the royal families of Europe. In the print, we see Carl XV, dressed in his regal attire, being crowned by the Archbishop of Trondheim, with the Norwegian crown resting on his head. Surrounding him are various dignitaries and nobles, all dressed in their finest attire, witnessing the historic moment. The grandeur of the ceremony is further emphasized by the ornate decorations and the impressive architecture of the Nidaros Cathedral, where the event took place. This print is an important reminder of the rich history and cultural connections between Sweden and Norway, and the significant role that Carl XV played in shaping their shared future. The image provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grandeur, tradition, and the formalization of political alliances.
