EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a pivotal moment in British monarchical history: the coronation of King George V at Westminster Abbey in London on June 22, 1911. In the image, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Randall Davidson, places the Crown of St. Edward on the king's head. King George V, dressed in the Imperial mantle of cloth of gold, sits regally on the chair beneath which lies the historic Stone of Scone, brought from Scotland by Edward I. The coronation ceremony, a grand and solemn event, marked the official installation of King George V as monarch of the United Kingdom, the Dominions, and the British Empire. The occasion was a significant moment in the continuity of the British monarchy, which has endured for over a thousand years. The image captures the grandeur and majesty of the event, with the Archbishop's solemn expression and the king's regal demeanor, making it a fitting representation of the coronation of a monarch in the early 20th century.
