EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures an iconic moment in British history: Queen Elizabeth II's coronation on 2 June 1953. In the image, the newly crowned monarch, dressed in her Imperial State Crown, proudly holds the Sovereign's Sceptre with Cross and the Sovereign's Orb. The Imperial State Crown, made in 1937 for the coronation of her father, King George VI, is adorned with precious stones, gold, and pearls. The Sovereign's Sceptre and Orb, both dating from 1661, are significant regalia that symbolize the monarch's power and authority. These treasured items are part of the Royal Collection at the Tower of London. Martin Holmes, in his book "The Crown Jewels in the Tower of London," published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office in 1962, provides a detailed account of the history and significance of these regal objects. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy.
