The Coronation of King George and Queen Mary. 1911.

For Sale is a Double Page Drawing removed from a Special Number of The Illustrated London News, June 27th, 1911, for "The Coronation of king George and Queen Mary," showing "As Thou Dost This Day Set a Crown of Pure Gold upon his Head, So . . . Crown hin with all Princely Virtues" :  The Coronation of King George V.  With the Historic Crown of St. Edward."
Drawn by Frederic de Haenen.

The King was seated in King Edward's Chair.  The Archbishop, standing before the Altar, took the Crown into his hands, and, laying it again before him upon the Altar, said the prayer for the sanctification of the Sovereign, and thereupon, assisted with other Bishops, came down from the Altar, the Dean of Westminster bringing St. Edward's Crown, which the Archbishop, taking it of him, reverently put upon the King's head.  Then the people, with loud and repeated shouts, cried, "God Save the King" ;  the Princes, Peers, and Kings of Arms put on their coronets ;  the trumpets sounded, and the great guns at the Tower were shot off.  The Archbishop now said the prayer,  "God crown you with a crown of glory and righteousness."  A moment after the King had received St. Edward's Crown, this was taken off, and his Majesty himself placed upon his head the Imperial Crown.

Condition is Very Good.
