EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a pivotal moment in British history: the coronation of King Edward VII at Westminster Abbey in London, August 1902. King Edward VII, dressed in the traditional robes of a monarch, takes the sacred oath from the Archbishop of Canterbury, as the Archbishop of York holds the Bible steady. The solemnity of the occasion is palpable, with the grandeur of the Abbey and the reverence of the assembled crowd adding to the sense of occasion. Edward VII, who had ascended to the throne following the death of Queen Victoria, had waited patiently for his turn to rule, and his coronation marked the formal beginning of his reign. The ceremony, steeped in tradition and symbolism, was a testament to the enduring power and prestige of the British monarchy. This photograph, taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd, offers a unique and intimate glimpse into this historic event, providing a valuable record of a pivotal moment in British history.
