EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in history as King George V and Queen Mary make their way across a medieval-themed bridge during the 1911 Coronation Procession in London. Dressed in their regal attire, the monarchs sit proudly in an open carriage, waving to the adoring crowd as they cross the Thames. The scene is set against the backdrop of a picturesque riverbank, with the ancient architecture of London's Tower Bridge in the distance. The year was 1911, and the city was abuzz with excitement for the upcoming coronation of King George V and Queen Mary. To celebrate the occasion, a grand pageant was organized, featuring elaborate floats, colorful costumes, and historical reenactments. The spectators, dressed in medieval attire, eagerly line the streets and riverbanks, adding to the festive atmosphere. The photograph, taken by renowned British illustrator and photographer, Matania, captures the essence of the pageantry and excitement that surrounded the coronation. The image is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy, and the enduring appeal of royal events. This photograph is not only a historical document, but also a beautiful work of art, showcasing the skill and talent of Matania as a photographer and artist.
