EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures a moment in time from the 1770s, featuring the young and dashing Prince George, later King George IV (1762-1830), and his beloved brother, Prince Frederick (1763-1827), Prince-Bishop of Osnabruck, later Duke of York and Albany. The brothers are depicted in their full regalia as members of the Order of the Garter, the most prestigious and ancient chivalric order in England. Established by King Edward III in 1348, the Order of the Garter is a symbol of chivalry, loyalty, and unity among the British monarchy. The brothers proudly wear the distinctive blue mantle, edged with ermine, and the Tudor rose and garter emblems on their headdresses, adorned with richly colored feathers. Prince George, the elder brother, wears the star and collar of the Order, while Prince Frederick, the younger brother, holds the garter in his hand. Their youthful energy and brotherly bond are palpable, as they share a moment of camaraderie and pride in their shared heritage and responsibilities. Prince George would later ascend to the throne in 1820, while Prince Frederick would become Duke of York and Albany in 1801. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of these two influential figures, showcasing their close relationship and the grandeur of the British monarchy during the 18th century.
