EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of Frederick Augustus, Duke of York, as he dons the magnificent coronation dress and robes of estate in 1824. The image takes us back to the grandeur and formality of the 19th century aristocracy, showcasing a momentous ceremonial occasion. Attended by his loyal trainbearer, Lieutenant Henry Frederick Cookes, this portrait commemorates the coronation of King George IV on July 19th, 1821. The aquatint technique used in this print adds depth and richness to every detail - from the vibrant colors of their ceremonial costumes to the intricate insignia adorning them. The Duke's formal attire exudes power and prestige while reflecting his royal lineage as Prince Frederick and Prince Regent. Samuel William Reynolds skillfully captures their noble expressions, emphasizing their importance within British royalty.

It transports viewers into a world where men like Frederick Augustus commanded respect through their dignified demeanor and majestic attire. With its historical significance preserved for posterity, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind J Stephanoff's work but also offers insight into an influential period in British history.
