EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a historic moment during the coronation procession of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra in 1902. The image features three prominent British military figures passing under the Canadian Arch in London: Lord Kitchener, Admiral of the Fleet Sir Edward Seymour, and Major-General Sir Alfred Gaselee. Lord Kitchener, dressed in full military regalia, is seen at the center of the photograph, with Admiral Seymour to his left and Major-General Gaselee to his right. The three men, all of whom held high ranks in the British military, were part of the grand procession that marked the coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. The Canadian Arch, a grand archway adorned with maple leaves and other Canadian symbols, served as a tribute to the Dominion of Canada and its people. The arch was erected specifically for the coronation procession and was a symbol of the close relationship between Canada and the British monarchy. The photograph captures the excitement and energy of the crowd as they watch the procession pass by. Spectators line the streets, some waving flags or hats, while others crane their necks to get a better view. The grandeur of the occasion is evident in the ornate uniforms of the military men and the opulence of the carriages and horses that make up the procession. This photograph is a testament to the pageantry and grandeur of the coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, as well as the strong ties between Britain and its colonies, including Canada.
