Coronation Album
This is a remarkable album commemorating the Coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra on June 26th, 1902. Published by the Illustrated London News and Sketch, Limited, it features twenty-five coloured and other plates, alongside detailed accounts of the service and ceremony. The album is bound in a striking red leatherette cover, embossed with intricate gold detailing and the royal crest. It contains a wealth of illustrations, photographs, and descriptive text, offering a fascinating glimpse into a significant moment in British history.
Condition and Collectibility
The album shows signs of age and wear consistent with its 120+ year history. The binding is secure, though the cover exhibits some scuffing and fading. Internally, the pages are generally clean, with some minor foxing and occasional edge wear. Advertisements for various products of the era are interspersed throughout, adding to its historical context. This album is a desirable piece for collectors of royal memorabilia, British history enthusiasts, and those interested in Edwardian ephemera.
