Description | Invitation to Coronation of King George IV |
Details |
An elegant invitation admitting Cecil Lane to part of the lavish Coronation ceremony of King George IV to the Westminster Hall, the last time that Westminster Hall was so used. Designed by Sir William Congreve, these cards broke from the previous tradition in incorporating a number of national, rather than purely royal, emblems.
