"1762-1830: A Glimpse into the Reign of George IV" Step back in time to witness the fascinating era of King George IV, whose reign spanned from 1762 to 1830. From grand coronation processions to innovative achievements, this period was filled with remarkable events that shaped history. In 1821, "Nosing the Nob at Ramsgate" captured a humorous scene as locals playfully interacted with nobility visiting the coastal town. Meanwhile, St James Park witnessed an iconic moment during George IV's coronation procession in July of that year. Look closely and you'll spot Charles Green's balloon soaring high above – marking the first successful flight using coal gas. Hannah Humphrey's publications shed light on societal dynamics during this time. "The Presentation, or Wise Mens Offering" (1796) depicted a significant biblical event while offering insight into contemporary values. Similarly, "Modern Hospitality, or A Friendly Party in High Life" provided a glimpse into upper-class social gatherings. George IV's visit to Edinburgh in 1822 is immortalized in "The Entry of George IV into Edinburgh from Carlton Hill. " This monumental occasion showcased unity between England and Scotland and left an indelible mark on both nations' histories. "The Reconciliation, " another work by Hannah Humphrey published in 1804, explored themes of forgiveness and redemption through its colored etching. In contrast, "Vices Overlooked in the New Proclamation" highlighted societal issues that were often disregarded despite their prevalence. Portraits played a crucial role during this period; artists like Jeremiah Meyer skillfully captured King George IV's likeness for posterity. These vivid depictions offer us glimpses into his personality and leadership style. As we delve deeper into these drawings and prints from Artokoloro archives, we gain valuable insights about society under King George IV’s rule.
