Assisted Coronation Coronations Fellowes Herb Herbs Path Scattering Miss


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a significant moment during the grand ceremony of the Coronation of King George IV of England, held on July 19, 1821. The scene portrays the Herbwoman, or the Kings Herbwoman, performing her traditional role in the procession. Assisted by six maidens, she is shown scattering flowers and herbs in the path of the King as he makes his way to Westminster Abbey. The Herbwoman was an essential figure in English coronation customs, believed to ensure the purification and sanctification of the monarch's route. Herbs and flowers symbolized the renewal of life, purity, and the blessings of nature. The Herbwoman's presence added a touch of magic and mystique to the solemn occasion. In this historical photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, we see Miss Fellowes, the Herbwoman of the day, gracefully performing her duties. She is dressed in an elegant gown, adorned with a headdress of fresh flowers and herbs. Her maidens, dressed in matching attire, follow closely behind, scattering more herbs and flowers in the path. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a fascinating aspect of English history and coronation traditions. The intricate details, from the Herbwoman's headdress to the delicate petals of the flowers, offer a glimpse into the meticulously planned and executed ceremony. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and customs that surround the coronation of a monarch, a moment of great significance in the life of a nation.
