EDITORS COMMENTS
King George I of England, adorned in his regal crown, wig, and ermine robes, prepares to embark on a fateful journey. It is the night of his untimely demise, June 22nd, 1727. In this print by John Leech after an illustration from Gilbert Abbott A Becketts Comic History of England, we witness the monarch boarding the royal coach bound for Osnabruck. The scene is filled with both grandeur and irony as King George I stands tall with orb and sceptre in hand while donning Roman sandals. Six servants dressed in livery cling onto the rear of the carriage as if holding onto their ruler's fading presence. This comical depiction captures a moment that blends history and caricature. The caption humorously refers to him as 'Georgey Porgey' going out for a ride in his state coachy poachy. Yet beneath the surface lies a sense of gluttonous power that ultimately leads to his tragic end. Handcoloured steel engraving brings life to this historical satire, highlighting every detail with vibrant hues. As viewers immerse themselves in this artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection via Fine Art Finder, they are transported back to an era where kings ruled with pomp and circumstance but were not immune to fate's cruel twists.
