EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Great Seal of George II, a remarkable piece from the mid-18th century. The image, taken from Cassells Illustrated History of England, Volume IV, transports us back to a time when monarchy reigned supreme in Britain's history. The intricate engraving depicts King George II on horseback as an allegorical figure of power and authority. The majestic rider is seen holding the reins firmly while seated upon his noble steed. This symbolizes not only his command over the animal kingdom but also his dominion over the British Empire. The Great Seal itself is a testament to craftsmanship and attention to detail. It bears the royal crest and emblematic motifs that represent King George II's reign as both monarch of Britain and Ireland, as well as Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg in Hanover. As we gaze at this historical artifact captured through time by an unknown creator, we are reminded of the significance it held during its era. This print serves as a window into 18th-century British society, where royalty played an integral role in shaping political landscapes and national identity. Through this monochrome masterpiece preserved by Heritage Images' Print Collector7 collection, we can appreciate not only the artistry involved but also gain insight into one of Britain's most influential rulers - King George II Augustus.
