EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Miss Ruby Essan of Wimbledon is deeply engrossed in her task at the Royal School of Needlework, meticulously creating the embroidered crown for the coronation robe of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The image captures a moment in history as the skilled seamstress carefully threads her needle, her brow furrowed in concentration as she brings the intricate design to life. The year is 1953, and the anticipation for the upcoming coronation ceremony is palpable. The Royal School of Needlework, an esteemed institution renowned for its expertise in traditional embroidery, has been entrusted with the creation of the coronation robe for the new monarch. Miss Essan's role is a crucial one, as she is responsible for the creation of the embroidered crown that would be incorporated into the robe, just above the Royal cypher. The crown, like the rest of the robe, is a testament to the skilful craftsmanship of the seamstresses and embroiderers at the Royal School of Needlework. The intricate designs, which would adorn the robe and crown, were painstakingly created by hand, each stitch a labor of love. Miss Essan's deft touch and attention to detail are evident in this photograph, as she works diligently to bring the vision to life. The coronation robe, with its embroidered crown, would be a symbol of the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy, a ceremonial garment worn by the Queen during her coronation ceremony. The image of Miss Essan, with her needle and thread in hand, is a poignant reminder of the dedication and skill that goes into the creation of such an iconic piece of royal history.
