EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a stunning detail of the metalwork crown suspended from a Coronation Arch on the Mall in Greater London. Designed by Eric Bedford for the historic coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on 2nd June 1953, these four magnificent arches adorned the Mall with their fan-shaped designs. Each arch proudly displayed a metalwork crown, symbolizing the grandeur and significance of this momentous occasion. The attention to detail is remarkable as one can appreciate the intricate craftsmanship that went into creating these regal decorations. The arches were further embellished with majestic heraldic beasts, adding an element of nobility and tradition to the overall design. During nighttime, floodlights illuminated these architectural marvels, casting an enchanting glow upon them and enhancing their magnificence even further. This photograph truly captures not only a significant moment in history but also showcases artistry and design at its finest. As we admire this image captured by J R Uppington, we are transported back to that extraordinary day when Queen Elizabeth II was crowned. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and reminds us of the enduring legacy left behind by our royal family.
