The Regalia. - 3
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph print from the early 1910s, showcasing a collection of significant royal regalia from Britain's rich history. The image, of unknown origin, features six intricately designed objects arranged on a table. At the center, two sceptres, or ornate staffs, are displayed. The first, with a spiritual sceptre topped by a cross, was used by King William IV. The second, also a spiritual sceptre, was previously owned by Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII. Surrounding the sceptres are four swords, each with its unique significance. The first sword, named Curtana or the Sword of Mercy, is sheathed. The second sword, with a blunt edge, is the Sword of Justice to the Spirituality. The third sword, sharp at the point, is the Sword of Justice to the Temporality. The fourth sword, known as the Sword of State, is the only one used during coronations, with the monarch girded after the anointing. These regal objects carry deep historical significance, symbolizing power, justice, and spirituality. They have been an integral part of British royal pageantry and tradition for centuries. The photograph print, taken from T. Leman Hare's "The Portrait Book of Our Kings and Queens 1066-1911," published by T.C. & E.C. Jack, London & Edinburgh, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and tradition of royal coronations and the weapons that have shaped the narrative of British monarchy.
