CROWNED LESS THAN AN HOUR AGO [EDWARD VII (1841-1910, King of Great Britain) & ALEXANDRA (of Denmark, 1844-1925, his Queen)]

Fine Stereoscopic Double Photograph, by Underwood & Underwood, showing 'The Crowned King ... and Queen Alexandra' in their magnificent Coronation Robes and Crowns, with a long and interesting description printed on the back, 3½" x 7", King's Entrance, Buckingham Palace,

"... After intensely impressive ceremonies less than an hour ago these crowns were placed upon these royal heads, the King's by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Queen's by the Archbishop of York ... This stereograph was made by special permit from Lord Knollys, His Majesty's Private Secretary, by direction of the King" and is therefore the only such "stereoscopic portrait in existence ... as an accurate historical record it is invaluable".
