Romanian coronation 1922
The coronation of King Ferdinand and Queen Marie of Romania at Alba Julia in Transylvania on 15 October 1922. There was no historical tradition of coronations in Romania. A church was specially built for the religious service that preceded Ferdinands coronation: the ceremony itself took place in the town square. Queen Marie, typically flamboyant, arranged the ceremony and designed the costumes. Her crown was based on a fresco of the legendary Princess Despina Doamna at Curtea de Arges

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in Romanian history - the coronation of King Ferdinand and Queen Marie of Romania in 1922. Taking place at Alba Julia in Transylvania on October 15th, this coronation was significant as there was no historical tradition of such ceremonies in Romania.
Queen Marie, known for her flamboyant style, played a crucial role in organizing the ceremony and designing the elaborate costumes. Her crown was inspired by a fresco depicting the legendary Princess Despina Doamna at Curtea de Arges.
The religious service preceding Ferdinand's coronation took place in a specially built church, with the main ceremony unfolding in the town square. This image is a testament to Queen Marie's attention to detail and flair for grandeur.
The importance of this event is evident through every detail captured in this photograph - from the regal attire to the historic location. It serves as a reminder of Romania's rich cultural heritage and royal traditions that were brought to life on that memorable day in October 1922.
