EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the grandeur and excitement of the Coronation Procession of His Majesty King George IV, which took place on July 19, 1821, in St. James Park, London. The image showcases the monarch seated in an open carriage, waving to the cheering crowds lining the streets. The atmosphere is filled with joy and celebration, as the people of London come together to witness this historic moment. At the upper right corner of the print, a balloon can be seen ascending into the sky. This balloon represents the groundbreaking achievement of Charles Green, the renowned English aeronaut, who made his first successful ascent using coal gas instead of hydrogen. Coal gas was a cheaper and more readily available alternative, making it a significant advancement in the field of aeronautics. This print, created in 1823, is a testament to the innovative spirit and progress that marked the early 19th century. The fusion of grand royal ceremonies and the emerging field of aeronautics encapsulates the sense of wonder and excitement that characterized this period in history. The Coronation Procession of King George IV and the first successful coal gas balloon ascent are both milestones in their respective domains, making this image a fascinating glimpse into the past.
