EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: The Chapel Royal at St James Palace, London, 1875 Description: This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty and historical significance of The Chapel Royal at St James Palace in London, as it stood in 1875. The Chapel Royal is an integral part of the British monarchy, serving the spiritual needs of the sovereign and their royal family. Established in the 16th century, it was once a body of priests and singers that travelled with the monarch, providing religious services both at court and during royal progresses. The image reveals the chapel's ornate interior, adorned with richly decorated walls, intricately carved wooden panels, and magnificent stained glass windows. The long nave is filled with pews, some of which bear the coats of arms of various monarchs and their consorts. At the far end, the high altar is flanked by ornate candelabras and a magnificent canopy, beneath which the monarch would have once knelt for prayer. The Chapel Royal has a rich history, having played host to numerous royal events, from the baptisms and weddings of the royal family to state funerals and coronations. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the opulence and grandeur of the British monarchy during the late 19th century.
