EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Shrine of Edward the Confessor and coronation chairs at Westminster Abbey. The image, taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, showcases this historical site held in great veneration. The shrine, erected by Henry III, stands as a testament to the reverence for Edward the Confessor, a former king of England known for his piety and saintly reputation. It is adorned with intricate details that reflect its significance within British history. Adjacent to the shrine are two iconic coronation chairs used during the crowning ceremonies of England's kings and queens. The older chair boasts a special feature - it houses the famous Scone Stone within its frame. This stone holds immense symbolic value as it was traditionally used in Scottish royal coronations. The postcard-like aesthetic adds a nostalgic touch to this image from Look and Learn / Rosenberg Collection housed in a private collection. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness centuries-old traditions unfold within Westminster Abbey's hallowed halls. With references to royalty, Edward the Confessor himself, and significant historical events such as coronations, this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an educational tool that allows us to delve into England's rich past.
