> As part of The Coronation celebrations, His Majesty commissioned five artists to capture some of the most significant moments of the weekend. Inviting artists to sketch, paint and draw scenes from The Coronation continues a long tradition of such commissions by other sovereigns and reflects Their Majesties’ shared appreciation of the arts and creative industries.
> The King selected four Royal Drawing School alumni to capture events they witnessed from positions along the procession route.
> His Majesty, as Prince of Wales, established The Royal Drawing School (formerly known as The Prince’s Drawing School) in 2000. The King is also a watercolourist himself and commissions artists to accompany him on overseas tours. This summer, visitors to the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace will see a special exhibition, The King’s Tour Artists, featuring over 70 works of art from His Majesty’s own collection, many on public display for the first time. An accompanying publication, The Art of Royal Travel: Journeys with The King, will further explore and celebrate this special royal tradition and will feature recollections from the artists and over 100 illustrations, telling the behind-the-scenes stories of the tours from a unique perspective.

I actually really like these! Very neat.
They are all awesome but last one is so wild. Straight out of rupture.
These would be great as postcards
Did they crop out the bit of paper that Wills read his two lines from?
