EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases King George II of England, captured in his earlier years as the Prince of Wales. The image beautifully portrays the regal and dignified presence that would later define his reign. Painted by renowned artist Georg Wilhelm Lafontaine and engraved by Pieter van Gunst, this piece is a testament to their exceptional skill and attention to detail. King George II, born in 1683 and reigning until 1760, played a significant role in shaping English history during the 17th and 18th centuries. As a member of the royal family, he embodied all the qualities expected of a monarch - strength, wisdom, and leadership. The portrait exudes an air of authority with its meticulous depiction of King George II's features - from his piercing gaze to his finely coiffed hair. This visual representation transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand the elegance and grandeur associated with royalty. As we admire this historical artifact preserved within Ken Welsh's esteemed collection, we are reminded of the enduring power held by those who have ruled over nations throughout history. It serves as a reminder that behind every great empire lies individuals whose legacies continue to shape our world today. This print is not only an exquisite work of art but also an invaluable glimpse into England's rich past. Its archival significance cannot be overstated as it captures a pivotal moment in British history when King George II was still known as Prince of Wales – poised on the cusp of greatness yet unaware
