More and more I am convinced that the paintings made after each event are not intended to be detailed captures of one precise moment.

Further, the illustrations commissioned before each coronation were guesswork and sometimes extremely misleading.
However, the illustrations and paintings were the best techniques available before photography became widely used in the press.
