The Regalia — Coronation Plate, 1911
coronation souvenir publishing, 1911
reproductionpre1931-platerights: pending
The crowns and orbs as the 1911 souvenir presses printed them — regalia for the parlor wall of an empire.
Why it matters
Coronation publishing put the treasury in every household; the plates are the people’s copy of the crown.
Notice
The catalogued reverence — every stone numbered like scripture verses.
Meaning
Majesty, mass-produced, is still majesty at this print quality.
