The Kings of England Often Passed the Night Before their Coronation in the Sovereign's Apartments at the Tower of London,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print created by Thomas Abiel Prior in 1937. This evocative image transports us back in time to an era of grandeur and tradition, as we gaze upon the tranquil River Thames flowing by the historic Tower of London. The Tower, a formidable fortress and iconic symbol of British history, stands proudly on the north bank of the river. In the foreground, a fleet of sailing ships gracefully sails along the waterway, their sails billowing in the wind. This idyllic scene is reminiscent of a 19th-century engraving titled "The Said Noble River," which adds to the nostalgic feel of the image. The significance of this print lies in its connection to the coronation of English monarchs. Prior's title reveals that kings often spent the night before their coronation in the Sovereign's Apartments within the Tower. This tradition dates back to the 13th century, making it an essential part of the coronation ceremony. The print, which is part of The Port of London Authority's collection, showcases the rich history and architectural beauty of London, England. The combination of the Tower of London, the River Thames, and the sailing ships creates a striking visual narrative that transports us to a bygone era. This image is a testament to the enduring allure of London's past and its continued significance in British history.
