EDITORS COMMENTS
This print advertisement showcases a painting by renowned English artist John Berry, depicting the iconic procession towards Westminster Abbey during Queen Victoria's Coronation in the late 19th century. The grand state coach, adorned with intricate designs and regal insignia, leads the way as soldiers in traditional red coats and bearskins march in formation, their shiny boots echoing the rhythm of their footsteps. Spectators line the streets, their anachronistic clothing revealing a fascinating blend of Victorian and mid-20th century fashions, adding a charming yet incongruous touch to this historic scene. The pageantry and spectacle of the Coronation of Queen Victoria, an enduring symbol of British monarchy and national pride, is brought to life in this evocative painting. The artist's masterful use of color and detail captures the essence of the event, transporting viewers back in time to witness this landmark moment in English history. John Berry's painting, originally created in the late 1800s, was later repurposed for an advertisement by the esteemed tyre company, Dunlop, in the early 1950s. The advertisement, though not explicitly commercial in nature, effectively showcases the connection between the past and the present, emphasizing Dunlop's rich heritage and commitment to quality and innovation. The Coronation of Queen Victoria remains a significant and cherished event in the annals of British history, and this print advertisement offers a unique and intriguing glimpse into the past, while also highlighting the enduring allure of the monarchy and the pageantry that surrounds it.
