EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 18th century print captures the grandeur and tradition of a typical coronation procession in England. The scene unfolds as a new monarch, depicted here as a king, makes his way from Westminster Abbey to the coronation chair, surrounded by the hierarchy of English society. The procession is led by ensigns bearing black rods, signifying the presence of the monarch, followed by the Yeomen of the Guard in their distinctive red and gold uniforms. Behind them come the noblemen and noblewomen, including dukes, duchesses, earls, countesses, viscounts, and viscountesses, all dressed in their finest robes and headdresses. The aristocracy, with their air of regal elegance, add to the sense of occasion. Bishops and archbishops, as representatives of the Church of England, follow in the train of the monarch, along with other members of the clergy. The choir of Westminster Abbey can be seen singing hymns as the procession passes by. Judges, aldermen, and other dignitaries complete the procession, adding to the sense of state and ceremony. The king, wearing his crown, rides in a carriage, while the queen, in a richly decorated coach, follows behind. The print provides a fascinating glimpse into the hierarchy of English society during the 18th century, with its grand procession of nobility, clergy, and other dignitaries, all coming together to celebrate the coronation of a new monarch.
