Image description

A page from Francis Sandford's 'The History of the Coronation of the Most High, Most Mighty and Most Excellent Monarch, James II', concerning the Royal Feast in Westminster Hall. The page has a decorative initial and an engraved head-piece showing two cherubs or putti; one holding a laurel wreath, the other an orb. In the middle is a crown, sword and sceptre. The coronation ceremony of King James II (1685-8), which took place on 23 April 1685 in Westminster Abbey, was described and illustrated in Francis Sandford's book, published two years later. Commissioned by the King himself, it provides a remarkable insight into the day's events, including the preparations for the ceremony, the regalia, the order of the procession, the seating, the ceremony itself, the banquet and fireworks
