EDITORS COMMENTS
The Coronation Procession of King George II, October 1727". This print takes us back to the grandeur and splendor of the 18th century. Capturing a significant moment in history, it depicts the coronation procession of King George II in October 1727. The image is divided into five strips, each showcasing different members of the royal entourage. At the forefront stands King George II himself, resplendent in his regal attire, leading the procession with his queen consort Caroline by his side. A magnificent canopy is held over them as they walk together towards their destiny. Behind them follow a diverse array of individuals who play crucial roles in this ceremonial event. Lords and ladies-in-waiting exude elegance as they accompany their monarchs. Yeomen and footmen march proudly alongside courtiers adorned in lavish costumes befitting their status. Notably present among this esteemed gathering is Sir John Eyles, Lord Mayor of London, representing civic authority amidst all the opulence. The engraving beautifully captures both male and female figures participating in this historic occasion. It provides a glimpse into the lives of those who served under King George II's reign – soldiers standing tall with unwavering loyalty while women grace the scene with poise and grace. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, we are transported back to an era defined by power, tradition, and pageantry.
