EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a significant moment during the coronation of King George V at Westminster Abbey in London on 22nd June 1911. The newly crowned monarch, resplendent in his regal attire, sits in King Edward's Chair as four knights of the Garter, Earl Cadogan, Earl of Rosebery, Marquess of Crewe, and Earl of Mintorn, drape the iconic Garter cloaks over his head. The rich canopy of gold cloth of gold above them adds to the grandeur and solemnity of the occasion. The coronation of George V marked the start of a new era for the British monarchy, and this image provides a fascinating glimpse into the ceremonial proceedings of this historic event. The intricate details of the interior of Westminster Abbey and the formal attire of the knights and the monarch himself, all contribute to the sense of tradition and pageantry that surrounded the coronation. This photograph is a testament to the grandeur and ceremonial splendor of the British monarchy during the early 20th century.
