EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases George II, the King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1727 until his passing in 1760. The image, taken in 1830 by an unknown artist, captures the essence of this influential monarch who played a significant role in British history. George II's reign was marked by a strong influence of Parliament on domestic policies, making him one of the last British monarchs whose power was largely controlled by elected representatives. However, he also possessed a unique distinction as being the final king to personally lead an army into battle at the Battle of Dettingen in 1743. The engraving is part of "Biographical Illustrations" authored by Alfred Howard and published by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin. It provides us with a glimpse into both George II's physical appearance and historical significance. With his long hair cascading down his shoulders and piercing gaze looking away from the camera lens, George II exudes regality and determination. His presence commands attention as he stands tall against a backdrop that symbolizes not only his rule over Great Britain but also his connection to Hanover through the Electorate. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to George II's legacy as an influential figure during the eighteenth century while offering viewers an opportunity to delve deeper into this fascinating period of history.
