This print shows a big crowd inside a church, watching a woman in a long dress get crowned. She stands on a raised platform, holding hands with a man in fancy robes. Around them, nobles in powdered wigs and old-fashioned clothes stand in rows, looking up. Above, more people sit in boxes along the walls, watching the ceremony. The title at the bottom says it’s the crowning of Queen Victoria in 1838. The artist used sharp lines and shading to show the details of the clothes and the church’s tall windows. Next, check out how this was made using etching.
