EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and historical significance of the Coronation procession of George IV in St James Park, London on 19 July 1821. The artist, W Heath, skillfully depicts the momentous occasion with meticulous attention to detail. Amidst the bustling crowd and regal splendor, one cannot help but notice a remarkable sight in the sky on the right side of the image - Charles Green's balloon. This particular flight marked a groundbreaking achievement as it was the first successful use of coal gas for ballooning. A testament to human ingenuity and progress in aeronautics during this era. The scene exudes an air of majesty befitting British royalty. The Hanoverian King George IV is depicted amidst his entourage as they make their way through St James Park, surrounded by adoring subjects eager to catch a glimpse of their monarch.
