Desamparados Valencia. 1923.
This extravagantly ornate design announces the Coronation of the Virgin of the Forsaken, an event attended by thousands of Valencians and chaired by King Alfonso XIII and Queen Victoria Eugenie. The patroness of Valencia is a Catholic invocation of the Virgin Mary whose history dates back to 1409. For her coronation, she was presented with a rich gold embroidered mantle and a decadent crown, as seen here. To this day, her coronation is celebrated annually in Valencia, and her statue can be found at the Basilica on Plaza de la Virgen, which is considered to be the city's most important religious building.
