1762 1830 Bonnet Cotes Infancy
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image captures the young and innocent King George IV of England during his infancy, around the year 1762. The future monarch is depicted in the arms of his mother, Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, as she tenderly gazes down at her beloved son. The King's delicate features, rosy cheeks, and chubby hands are a testament to his youthful innocence. Queen Charlotte, dressed in a elegant, high-waisted gown and a fashionable bonnet adorned with a bow, cradles her son with a loving expression. Her regal bearing and maternal instincts are evident, as she protects and cherishes her young prince. King George IV, born on August 12, 1762, was the third child and second son of King George III and Queen Charlotte. He ascended to the throne on January 29, 1820, following the death of his father. His reign was marked by extravagance, political instability, and a controversial marriage to Caroline of Brunswick. This historical photograph offers a rare glimpse into the early life of one of England's most intriguing monarchs. It is a poignant reminder of the human side of royalty, and the enduring bond between a mother and her child. The image, which dates from the late 18th or early 19th century, is a precious treasure from the annals of history, and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of England.
