EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the momentous occasion of the coronation of King Edward VII of England, taken on June 22, 1902, at Westminster Abbey. Edward, who was born on November 9, 1841, ascended to the throne following the death of his mother, Queen Victoria, in 1901. His coronation marked the end of the Victorian Era and the beginning of a new chapter in British history. Edward is depicted in his full regalia, including the Imperial State Crown, the Robe of State, and the ermine-trimmed mantle. The Imperial State Crown, made for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, is one of the most famous and ornate crowns in the world, adorned with precious stones and gold. The Robe of State, made in the 16th century, is one of the oldest and most significant items of British royal regalia. The coronation was a grand affair, attended by thousands of people, including members of the royal family, dignitaries, and commoners. The ceremony was filled with tradition and symbolism, including the anointing of the monarch with holy oil, the wearing of the Crown of St. Edward, and the touching of the Sword of State to the monarch's shoulders. King Edward VII's reign was marked by social and political change, including the passage of the People's Budget and the introduction of old-age pensions. He was also known for his love of art, literature, and women, earning him the nickname "Edward the Caresser." Despite his popularity, his health began to decline in the later years of his reign, and he died on May 6, 1910. This photograph is a testament to the grandeur and tradition of the British monarchy and the significance of the coronation ceremony in British history. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to shape the United Kingdom today.
