Açıklama
"The Crown Jewels of England" by G. J. Younghusband and Cyril Davenport is a historical account written in the early 20th century. It surveys the English coronation regalia—their ceremony, symbolism, craftsmanship, and provenance—supported by precise illustrations and archival sources, and extends to related subjects such as royal plate, vestments, the coronation chair, and renowned gems.
