EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: St. Edward's Screen and Coronation Chair, Westminster Abbey, London This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and history of St. Edward's Screen and the Coronation Chair within the hallowed halls of Westminster Abbey in London. Dating back to the early 20th century, this image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of this iconic British landmark. Westminster Abbey, an architectural masterpiece, has served as the coronation church since the 11th century. The abbey's most prominent features include St. Edward's Screen and the Coronation Chair. The screen, a magnificent example of Gothic architecture, was erected in 1503 to commemorate King Henry VII's victory at the Battle of Bosworth Field. It stands as a testament to the opulence and craftsmanship of the Tudor era. The Coronation Chair, on the other hand, is a symbol of the monarchy's history and tradition. Originally made for King Edward the Confessor in the 11th century, the chair has been the seat of coronation for every English and British monarch since 1308. The intricate carvings and ornate details on the chair reflect the cultural significance and the craftsmanship of the time. This photograph offers a unique perspective of these historical treasures, allowing us to appreciate their beauty and importance in the context of the stunning Westminster Abbey. The play of light and shadow, the intricate details, and the sense of history make this image a must-have for anyone interested in British history, architecture, or art.
