EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of history when King Charles II was crowned at Westminster Abbey in London on 23 April 1661. The coronation marked the end of the English Civil War and the Restoration of the monarchy after a decade of political turmoil and interregnum rule. Charles II, dressed in rich robes and wearing the Imperial State Crown, sits confidently on his throne as the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Juxon, places the sacred oil on his hands during the anointing ceremony. The scene is filled with symbolism and meaning, reflecting the hope and expectation of the English people for peace, stability, and prosperity under their new king. The grandeur of the setting, with its ornate decorations and the presence of the nobility and clergy, underscores the solemnity and significance of the occasion. The coronation of King Charles II was a turning point in English history, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of royalty, tradition, and national unity.
