EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in British history - the coronation of Queen consorts in Westminster Abbey in 1937. The central portrait depicts Elizabeth, the Queen Consort of George VI, radiating regal elegance and grace. Surrounding her are twelve other remarkable women who have played significant roles as wives to kings throughout different centuries. From left to right, we see Alexandra, the Consort of Edward VII; Isabel, the Consort of Edward II; Catherine, the Consort of Henry VIII; Mary, the Consort of James II; Caroline, the Consort of George II; Adelaide, the Consort of William IV; Mary, the Consort of George V; Sophia-Charlotte, the Consort of George III; Mary II (who jointly ruled with William III); Anne (Consorts to both James I and Richard III); and Eleanor (the beloved wife of Edward I). Each queen consort represents a unique era in British history - from medieval times through to modernity. This illustration from Illustrated London News: Coronation Record Number showcases their beauty and strength as they stood by their husbands' sides during royal events. The vibrant colors bring life to this historical image while highlighting each woman's individuality within their respective time periods. It serves as a reminder that behind every great king is an equally extraordinary queen consort who has contributed greatly to shaping Britain's monarchy. This print is not just a visual delight but also an important testament to these influential women who have left an indelible mark on British royalty.
