SKU: TTOD147 Category: Tags: , , , , ,

This is a recording of a live online event held on Wednesday 10 May 2023.

In this talk, RSN Chief Executive, Dr Susan Kay-Williams will reveal some of the items that the RSN made for the coronations of 1902, 1911, 1937 and 1953 referenced by what remains in our archives that we are still discovering today, as much of the archive is uncatalogued.

In addition to objects made directly for the coronations, you will see examples of samplers, cushions and other souvenirs of the events, including pieces that even our most regular talks attenders will not have seen before.  Susan will also talk about the serendipitous way that some of the pieces came back to the RSN. Please join us as there is much to see!
