EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Queen Mary's Chair in Winchester Cathedral, dating back to 1554. This remarkable artifact was a central piece during the opulent wedding ceremony of Queen Mary I and Philip of Spain, held on July 25th, 1554. The chair's intricate design features a combination of leather and wood, reflecting the craftsmanship of its time. The image is sourced from "Old Furniture". Volume IV, edited by Lieut. -Col. E. F. Strange in 1928. Lieutenant Colonel Strange was renowned for his expertise in historical furniture and this publication stands as a testament to his passion for preserving such treasures. Winchester Cathedral itself holds immense religious significance as one of England's most prominent Christian landmarks. It served as the sacred backdrop for this momentous union between two monarchs - King Philip II of Spain and Queen Mary I of England and Ireland. As we gaze upon this monochrome photograph, we are transported back to the grandeur and solemnity that surrounded this royal marriage ceremony over four centuries ago. The image captures not only an exquisite piece of furniture but also embodies the intertwining narratives of religion, royalty, love, power, and history. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we can appreciate both the artistic beauty inherent in old-world craftsmanship and gain insight into an era where faith played a pivotal role in shaping political alliances among European kingdoms.
