EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the regal presence of King Haakon VII and Queen Maud of Norway as they proudly display the Norwegian flag and coat of arms during their coronation in November 1905. Haakon, born in 1872, ascended to the throne following Norway's secession from Sweden in May of that year. His wife, Maud, born in 1869, was a Danish princess who became the first queen consort of an independent Norway. Their coronation was a significant moment in Norwegian history, marking the end of centuries of foreign rule and the beginning of a new era for the Norwegian people. In this image, the royal couple exude confidence and dignity, with Haakon holding the Norwegian flag aloft and Maud wearing the traditional Norwegian crown and ermine-trimmed robe. The coat of arms in the foreground features the lion and the crown, symbols of Norway's monarchy, and the motto "For unions making," reflecting the country's long history of alliances and unions. The flag, with its distinctive cross and blue Scandinavian cross, adds a vibrant pop of color to the image. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and heritage of Norway, and serves as a reminder of the significant role that its monarchy has played in shaping the country's identity. It is an invaluable historical document, and a beautiful work of art in its own right.
