EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the regal Oval Portrait of George II, King of Great Britain, painted by the talented artist Joseph Smith in 1706. The portrait depicts a distinguished monarch wearing an elaborate long wig and adorned in resplendent plate armor. With his piercing gaze and commanding presence, King George II exudes authority and power. The photograph captures the essence of the 18th century, transporting us back to a time when monarchy reigned supreme. It symbolizes an era marked by warfare and conflict as indicated by the depiction of the king donning his protective armor. George II was not only King of Great Britain but also held titles such as Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and Elector of Hanover. This portrait serves as a testament to his royal lineage and sovereign status. Preserved at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this mezzotint print by Joseph Smith is a remarkable piece that immortalizes one of history's notable figures. Its monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the image while emphasizing its timeless appeal. As we admire this extraordinary artwork, let us appreciate both its historical significance and artistic excellence. This print allows us to connect with our past while marveling at the craftsmanship that brings it to life once more.
