King George V at His Coronation: A Moment of Historical Tradition and Solemnity (1911) This evocative image captures a poignant moment from the coronation of King George V in Westminster Abbey on June 22, 1911. King George V (1865-1936), dressed in the regal ermine-trimmed robe and ermine-lined coronation mantle, kneels before the Archbishop of Canterbury, Randall Davidson (1848-1930). With his right hand placed on the open Bible, he swears to uphold the duties and responsibilities of the British monarchy. The Archbishop, wearing his richly decorated vestments, presides over the ceremony with a solemn expression. The scene is filled with a sense of history and tradition, as the monarch and the spiritual leader of the Church of England come together to affirm the continuity of the British monarchy. This photograph, taken by renowned British artist and photographer Sir William Rothenstein's assistant, Matania, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and ceremony of a coronation. The image is a testament to the enduring customs and traditions that have shaped the British monarchy for centuries. King George V's coronation marked the beginning of his 21-year reign, during which he led the country through World War I and the Irish War of Independence. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the solemnity and significance of the coronation ceremony, a moment that connects the monarch to the past, present, and future of the British people.
