EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken in 1902, captures a significant moment in history as the Canadian Arch, located on Whitehall in London, was adorned with Canadian flags and decorations in celebration of the coronation of King Edward VII. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the early 20th century and the height of the Edwardian era in England. The Canadian Arch, a grand structure made of wrought iron and glass, was erected in 1900 as a symbol of the strong bond between Canada and the United Kingdom. In this photograph, the arch is beautifully lit by lanterns, casting an ethereal glow over the scene. The Canadian flag, prominently displayed atop the arch, waves proudly in the wind, while the surrounding area is adorned with various Canadian decorations. King Edward VII's coronation took place on August 9, 1902, and was a grand affair attended by royalty and dignitaries from around the world. This photograph provides a unique glimpse into the festivities, showcasing the pride and excitement of the Canadian people as they celebrated their connection to the British monarchy. The Victorian and Edwardian eras are known for their ornate decorations and attention to detail, and this image captures the essence of that era with its intricate design and elegant presentation. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a moment in time, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural ties that exist between Canada and the United Kingdom. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of the past and the importance of preserving our history for future generations.
