This print titled "Route of James II's Coronation Procession from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey" takes us back to the year 1685, offering a glimpse into a significant moment in history. The engraving, created by an anonymous English artist from the 17th century, showcases a groundplot of part of the City of Westminster. The image depicts the meticulously planned route taken by King James II during his coronation procession. As we follow the path from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey, we can see circles representing His Majesty's Troop of Horses and Regiments of Footguards lining the way. This visual representation highlights both the grandeur and ceremonial nature of this historic event. The significance of this procession is further emphasized by various landmarks mentioned in the caption. From Court of Wards and Court of Requests to Painted Hall and House of Lords, each location played its role in creating an awe-inspiring atmosphere for King James II's coronation ceremony.

This fact adds another layer to our understanding as we observe how troops and guards were present along the route, symbolizing protection and honor for their king. This print not only provides us with insight into one specific event but also offers an opportunity to explore London's rich historical heritage through its depiction of iconic sites such as St Peter's Westminster and Palace Yard.
