1789 Alarming Aldermen Biscuits Chewed Council Fits I Ii Madness Recovery Sons Thanks Giving
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures a significant moment in the history of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, taken from an engraving created in 1789. The scene depicts a service of thanksgiving held within the hallowed halls of the cathedral, organized in honor of King George III's recovery from a series of alarming fits and bouts of madness. The monarch's recovery was a cause for great relief and celebration among the city's populace, and this service was an opportunity for the court and city aldermen to express their gratitude. The image shows the King, dressed in his regal attire, seated in the pews alongside his sons, Prince George and Prince Edward. However, the focus of the engraving is not solely on the royal family. Instead, the attention is drawn to the younger princes, who are seen rudely chewing on biscuits during the service. This minor indiscretion, while seemingly trivial, adds an intriguing human element to the historical event. The service itself is richly decorated, with bishops and other clergy members in attendance, all dressed in their finest robes. The grandeur of the cathedral is on full display, with its ornate columns, intricate carvings, and stunning stained glass windows creating a breathtaking backdrop. This print, with its fascinating glimpse into the past, offers a unique perspective on the events and scenes that shaped the history of St. Paul's Cathedral and the city of London during the late 18th century.
