[ Coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, 1902. ] Four printed items: three issued by the Earl Marshal's Office, including 'The Proceeding From the West Door of the Abbey into the Choir' and 'Dress Regulations'; with a ticket from White's.
The four items are in good condition, with light signs of age and wear. All in large 'On His Majesty's Service' envelope, with postmarks, from the Earl Marshal's Office, addressed to 'Lady Harington | Whitbourne Court | Worcester'. ONE: Stitched and unbound pamphlet with first page headed with royal crest and 'Royal Coronation of their Most Excellent Majesties King Edward the Seventh and Queen Alexandra. | The Proceeding From the West Door of the Abbey into the Choir.' 7pp., large 8vo. Printed by 'Harrisoin & Sons, Printers in Ordinary to His Majesty, St. Martin's Lane, London, W.C.' With one central horizontal fold. No more than a list of the entire lengthy procession into Westminster Abbey, beginning with the 'Chaplains in Ordinary' and ending with 'Twenty Yeomen of the Guard'. The only copy on OCLC WorldCat or COPAC at Oxford. TWO: Printed 'Dress Regulations. | (For others than Peers and Peeresses).' on letterhead of the Earl Marshal's Office. 1p., 12mo. THREE: Printed notice on letterhead of the Earl Marshal's Office, noting the enclosure of 'a Card of Admission' and 'a Carriage Ticket and a copy of the Special Police Regulations for that day'. 1p., 12mo.
