EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in British history - the Coronation of King George IV at Westminster Hall, London in 1821. The image showcases the grandeur and splendor of this royal ceremony, with a procession led by the Dean and Prebendaries of Westminster adorned with regalia. The atmosphere inside Westminster Hall is palpable as dignitaries, clergy, and members of the public gather to witness this significant occasion. The hall's magnificent architecture serves as an impressive backdrop for the coronation proceedings. Every detail has been meticulously captured by Charles Wild, who expertly conveys both the scale and intimacy of this historic event. King George IV takes center stage on a raised platform or dais, symbolizing his elevated status as monarch. His presence exudes power and authority as he prepares to assume his role as King of Great Britain and Ireland. This coronation marks not only a personal milestone for George IV but also signifies continuity in Hanoverian rule.

Matthew Dubourg's aquatint technique brings depth to every figure present, emphasizing their significance within this royal event. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of Britain's most iconic moments - a testament to its rich heritage and enduring fascination with royalty.
