EDITORS COMMENTS
Taking Her Seat at the Abbey for the Coronation" is a captivating photograph by Paul Reno, capturing a moment of anticipation and excitement as an early spectator makes her way to take her seat within the hallowed halls of Westminster Abbey for the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902. The image transports us back in time to an era of grandeur and historical significance, as the congregation gathered to witness the momentous occasion. The woman, dressed in her finest Edwardian attire, moves with a sense of purpose and dignity, her hat adorned with a delicate veil that adds an air of mystery and intrigue. The temporary seating, constructed specifically for the event, can be seen in the background, a testament to the meticulous planning and preparation that went into the coronation. The gallery of Westminster Abbey, with its ornate architecture and rich history, serves as the backdrop for this poignant moment.
