Ceremony Coronation Crowned Crowning Matania
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the moment of history when Queen Mary, the consort of King George V, was crowned as Queen of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions and Empress of India, on June 2, 1911. The coronation took place at Westminster Abbey in London, and was attended by hundreds of dignitaries and representatives from around the world. Queen Mary, dressed in the traditional robes and crown of the monarch, sits confidently on her throne as the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Cosmo Gordon Lang, places the St. Edward's Crown on her head. The intricately designed crown, made of gold and set with precious stones, is a symbol of the monarch's divine right to rule. Surrounding the Queen are her ladies-in-waiting, dressed in elegant gowns and holding her train. The atmosphere in the Abbey is one of grandeur and solemnity, as the historic ceremony unfolds. The event marked the beginning of Queen Mary's reign, which would last until her husband's death in 1936. This photograph, taken by renowned British artist and illustrator, Paolo Alessandro Mantani, also known as Matania, captures the essence of the coronation ceremony and the regal presence of Queen Mary. The image is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy, and serves as a reminder of the significance of this moment in history.
