EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite drawing captures the breathtaking moment from the 1947 Royal Wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten at the hallowed Westminster Abbey in London. The scene unfolds as the bride and groom, resplendent in their regal attire, kneel at the High Altar steps, receiving the final blessings from the Archbishop of Canterbury. The view gazes towards the magnificent rose window of the South Transept, illuminating the intricately gothic interior of this historic cathedral. Members of the royal family, dressed in their finest, can be seen among the congregation, including the Duke of Edinburgh and Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. The bridesmaids, adorned in their white dresses and flower crowns, add a touch of youthful charm to the grand occasion. Westminster Abbey, with its rich history and architectural beauty, provided the perfect setting for this momentous event. The pageantry and grandeur of the ceremony, steeped in tradition and royalty, is beautifully encapsulated in this stunning drawing. The marriage of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip marked the beginning of a new era for the British monarchy and a symbol of hope and unity following the hardships of World War II.
