EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Illustrated London News in 1850 showcases the Regalia of Scotland: The George, created for King Charles II of Britain and Ireland in 1661. The Great George, as it was known, was a magnificent enamelled and jeweled George cross, featuring a large enameled George, set with twenty large diamonds and over a hundred smaller ones. This regal emblem was intended to be attached to the Garter collar. The mythological figure of Saint George, depicted as a gallant knight, is seen riding a horse and slaying a dragon. This image is deeply rooted in British mythology and is a symbol of the Order of the Garter, the oldest and most senior British order of chivalry. The George cross is a prominent emblem of Scotland and is still used in various capacities, including on the Scottish flag. The intricate engraving and meticulous attention to detail in this print highlight the rich history and tradition behind this iconic symbol. The black and white medium adds a timeless quality, transporting us back to the 19th century and the era of the Illustrated London News. This print is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Regalia of Scotland and the captivating stories it holds.
