EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, captures a portrait of King George IV of England, taken in the year 1858. King George IV, born on August 12, 1762, reigned as the monarch of the United Kingdom from 1820 until his death in 1830. George IV's reign was marked by extravagance and grandeur, reflecting his love for art, architecture, and fashion. He was known for his patronage of the arts and his support of various charitable causes. However, his reign was also marred by political instability and financial difficulties, leading to a significant increase in the national debt. The portrait showcases King George IV in his regal attire, wearing the insignia of the Order of the Garter on his chest. The Order of the Garter is the oldest and most senior order in the British monarchy, established by King Edward III in 1348. The Order's insignia includes a garter with the motto "Honi soit qui mal y pense" (Shame on him who thinks evil of it), which is still used as the motto of the monarchy today. King George IV's reign was also notable for his military campaigns, including the War of 1812 against the United States and the Peninsular War against Napoleon Bonaparte. He was awarded several military medals for his service, including the Order of the Bath and the Waterloo Medal. This photograph print offers a unique glimpse into the history of England during the reign of King George IV, providing a fascinating insight into the life and times of one of the most intriguing monarchs in British history.
