1760 Coronation Coronations Crowned I Ii
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print depicts the momentous occasion of the Coronation of King George III of England, which took place on September 22, 1760 at Westminster Abbey. George III, dressed in his regal robes and adorned with the Imperial State Crown, is shown being crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Thomas Secker. Surrounding the king are his Queen, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, and other members of the royal family, nobility, and clergy. The Coronation of George III marked the beginning of a new era in English history. George III ascended to the throne following the death of his grandfather, King George II, and brought with him a renewed sense of patriotism and national pride. His reign, which lasted from 1760 to 1820, is considered one of the most significant in English history due to his strong leadership during the American Revolution and the French Revolution. The Coronation ceremony is steeped in rich history and tradition, dating back to the medieval period. The monarch is anointed with holy oil, symbolizing their divine right to rule, and receives the scepter and orb, which represent power and authority. The crowning itself is a powerful moment, symbolizing the monarch's connection to the divine and their role as the spiritual and temporal leader of their people. This beautiful print offers a glimpse into the grandeur and pageantry of a coronation, transporting us back in time to witness a moment of great historical significance. It is a testament to the enduring customs and traditions of the British monarchy and the deep sense of history and heritage that continues to shape England today.
