EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a momentous event in British history - the coronation banquet of King George II. The grandeur and opulence of the occasion are beautifully captured by artist S. Moore, allowing us a glimpse into the lavish interior of Westminster Hall. King George II, known for his reign from 1727 to 1760, was not only the monarch of Great Britain and Ireland but also held prestigious titles such as Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg and Prince-Elector of the Holy Roman Empire. His coronation took place at Westminster Abbey on October 22nd, 1727. The celebration was made even more remarkable with four new anthems composed specifically for this occasion by renowned composer George Frideric Handel. One such anthem included "Zadok the Priest" which has since become synonymous with British royal ceremonies. In this image, we witness an array of guests gathered inside Westminster Hall to partake in this extraordinary feast. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation as people indulge in fine food and revelry fit for royalty. As we admire this snapshot from London's past, it serves as a reminder not only of historic events but also showcases the rich cultural heritage that defines Britain today. This engraving offers us a window into an era where grand banquets were held amidst stunning architectural marvels like Westminster Hall - truly capturing a moment frozen in time.
