EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the grandeur and meticulous preparations for the coronation of James II and his Queen in 1685. Published in Sandfords' "History" in 1687, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into an important moment in English history. The scene is set at Westminster Abbey, where all eyes are on the magnificent structure adorned with flags and banners. The bustling activity showcases the immense effort put forth to ensure every detail is perfect for this significant event. From workers setting up seating arrangements to craftsmen meticulously decorating the abbey's interior, it is evident that no expense was spared to create a truly regal atmosphere. The image also highlights the anticipation surrounding James II and his Queen as they prepare to ascend their thrones. Dressed resplendently in royal attire, they stand at the center of attention while courtiers and dignitaries surround them, eagerly awaiting their crowning moment. Published nearly two centuries later by Walter Thornbury in "Old and New London" this digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty. It serves as a reminder of England's rich heritage and provides valuable insight into how pomp and circumstance played a vital role during royal ceremonies. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to a time when royalty reigned supreme, capturing our imagination with its timeless elegance.
