EDITORS COMMENTS
In this magnificent photograph, King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra of Britain, proudly display their regal attire as they commemorate their coronation in August 1902. Edward, born on June 22, 1841, ascended to the throne following the death of his mother, Queen Victoria, in January of that year. His wife, Princess Alexandra of Denmark, who was born on December 1, 1844, became the new queen consort. The image captures the grandeur and opulence of the monarchy during this era. King Edward wears the Imperial State Crown, which is adorned with precious stones, gold, and pearls. The crown, which was made in 1902, is one of the most famous and iconic symbols of the British monarchy. The king's coronation robe is also a sight to behold, featuring ermine fur, gold embroidery, and a velvet mantle. Queen Alexandra, who was the first Danish-born queen consort of England, looks resplendent in her coronation robes. Her robe is made of crimson velvet and is lined with ermine fur. The robe is also adorned with gold embroidery, pearls, and diamonds. The queen's crown, which is known as the Queen Mary Fringe Work, is a masterpiece of intricate gold and pearl work. The couple's coronation took place at Westminster Abbey in London, and this photograph is a testament to the grandeur and splendor of the event. The image is a reminder of the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy and the significance of the coronation ceremony in the lives of the monarch and the people of Britain. The photograph is a beautiful and enduring symbol of the power and majesty of the monarchy during the early 20th century.
