1461 29th Coronation Crowned Robe Throne Westminster
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of history when Edward IV was crowned King of England at Westminster Abbey on June 28, 1461. Edward, dressed in the regal robes of his new position, sits confidently on the ornate and intricately designed throne, his hand raised in blessing as the Archbishop of Canterbury, in his red robes and ermine-trimmed mitre, places the golden St. Edward's Crown on his head. The scene is filled with the rich symbolism of medieval monarchy, from the elaborate canopy above the throne to the attendants in their livery, all adding to the grandeur and solemnity of the occasion. Edward IV's rise to the throne came after a period of civil war and political instability, and his coronation marked the beginning of a new era. The event was a celebration of the restoration of peace and order, and the people of England looked forward to a prosperous and stable reign under their new king. The image is a testament to the power and majesty of the medieval monarchy, and offers a glimpse into the pomp and ceremony that surrounded the coronation of a king. The intricate details of the robes, the throne, and the crown all serve to highlight the grandeur and opulence of the occasion, while the serious expressions of the attendees underscore the importance and gravity of the moment. This historical print, taken from the archives of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique and fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grandeur, power, and tradition. The image is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that has shaped the world we live in today, and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the past.
