EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the moment of history as King George V is crowned in the hallowed halls of Westminster Abbey on 22nd June 1911. The newly anointed monarch sits regally on his ornate throne, adorned with intricate carvings and rich fabrics, as the Archbishop of Canterbury places the St. Edward's Crown upon his head. The solemnity of the occasion is palpable, as the King's consort, Queen Mary, looks on from the box behind, her expression a mixture of pride and reverence. Surrounding them are their children, Princess Mary, Prince Albert, Prince Henry, and Prince George, all dressed in their finest attire, their young faces reflecting a sense of awe and wonder at the momentous event unfolding before them. The coronation of King George V marked the beginning of a new era in British monarchy, one that would last for over twenty-five years. This photograph, with its intricate details and captivating narrative, offers a glimpse into the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy, making it a treasured piece for any history or royalty enthusiast.
