EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic broadsheet discussing the intriguing tale of King George III's madness in 1788. The English School of the 18th century skillfully captured this momentous event, now preserved in a private collection. King George III, known as the monarch of Great Britain and Ireland, faced an unfortunate battle with mental illness during the latter part of his reign. This artwork sheds light on his condition, which is now believed to have been caused by porphyria, a rare blood disease. The brooding image invites us into a world where discussions surrounding royal sickness and its symptoms take center stage. The carefully chosen quotations and text provide valuable insights into the realm of medicine and insanity during the Georgian era. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking piece, we are reminded of the importance placed on mental health even centuries ago. It serves as a poignant reminder that no one is immune to afflictions that can impact their well-being. Let this engrossing artwork transport you back in time to an era when discussions about royalty's struggles were not only significant but also deeply rooted in understanding human nature itself. Explore how society grappled with such challenges while appreciating the artistic mastery behind this historical gem from www. bridgemanart. com.
