King George I, the first monarch of the House of Hanover, ascended to the throne in 1714. He was followed by his son, King George II, and later by his grandson, King George III. These sovereigns played significant roles in shaping British history. In 1724, William Hogarth depicted Royalty, Episcopacy and Law in an engraving that showcased the influence of these kings on various aspects of society. Their reigns were marked by political changes and advancements in law. Tragically, King George I of Greece met a violent end in Thessaloniki during a conquest by the Greeks. This event is captured vividly in a color lithograph depicting his murder on that fateful afternoon. Portraits immortalize King George I's regal presence as he ruled over England. One such portrait showcases him as a distinguished figure from the House of Hanover. The New Lodge or White Lodge at Richmond Park served as a residence for royalty during this era. An engraving from 1823 captures its grandeur and significance within royal circles. Orchard Cottage on the Isle of Wight also held historical importance as it belonged to Sir Willoughby Gordo. An engraving from 1825 depicts this charming seat associated with King George I's time. An intriguing engraving titled "The King and His Subject" hints at the complex relationship between monarchy and those they governed during this period. "The Rose, Shamrock and Thistle to General Union, " depicted through vibrant colors engraved imagery symbolizes unity under their rule across Great Britain and Ireland during Queen Victoria's reign. A captivating aquatint portrays King George I himself; capturing his essence through intricate details etched onto paper using this unique technique. Engravings like "The Arrival at Athens" provide glimpses into important events where monarchs traveled abroad representing their kingdoms with dignity and grace.
