The Coronation of King Edward the Seventh and Queen Alexandra. 1902.

For Sale is a Double Page taken from a Supplement to "The Illustrated London News, August 14th, 1902," for "The Coronation of King Edward the Seventh and Queen Alexandra," showing the Following Drawings one on each side.

       a- Coronation Night at Spithead : The Illumination of the Fleet Assembled for the Coronation Review.

According to official orders, each ship in the Fleet had to adopt a rigidly uniform scheme of illumination. The result was a spectacle of wonderful magnificence, the contour of every vessel being accurately outlined with rows of light, so that the whole assemblage of vessels appeared as though it were a fairy fleet of fire.

       b- Coronation Night in London : The Illumination of the Bank of England and the Royal Exchange.

On this, more than on former occasions, the artistic illuminators have striven to preserve in the general effect of their arrangements the outline and character of the building decorated. This was particularly the case at the Bank of England and the Royal Exchange, where the glass devices had the support, as it were, of graceful lines of colour, following in the main the contour of the building. At the Exchange, lamps of green and amber were used to excellent advantage.

Condition is Very Good, with the usual Folds.
