EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in British history - the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary. The grandeur of the event is evident in the elaborate grandstand erected in front of Westminster Abbey, adorned with vibrant bunting that adds a festive touch to the scene. As we gaze at this snapshot from 1911, we are transported back in time to witness the excitement and anticipation that filled the air. In addition to the majestic grandstand, our attention is drawn towards a horse-drawn bus passing by, brimming with passengers eager to catch a glimpse of royalty. This image not only showcases the regal atmosphere but also provides us with a glimpse into everyday life during this era. Photographer Katherine MacFee has expertly captured London's coronation decorations through her lens, giving us an invaluable visual record of this historic event. The photograph serves as a testament to MacFee's skill and dedication as she meticulously documented more than fifty grandstands along the coronation route. As we admire this remarkable piece of history preserved on paper, it reminds us of how traditions have evolved over time while retaining their significance. This print encapsulates both royal splendor and ordinary life intertwining on one extraordinary day in Greater London's past.
