Edmund of England: Scene, Coronation and Consecration -- Two groups of men, each including one man armed with a sword, flank two bishops holding croziers. One bishop hands a scepter to Edmund, who is seated on a cushioned bench with his feet on a footstool. The other bishop places a cross-surmounted crown on Edmundís head. The scene is in a curtained room within an architectural setting, and the illustration has a decorated frame.
