EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving, titled "The Tories And The Whigs Pulling For A Crown" captures a pivotal moment in British political history. Set in London in 1789, the artwork portrays George, Prince of Wales, seated on a regal throne as he anxiously awaits the outcome of a tug-of-war over the crown and regency between two powerful factions. Representing the Tories are Edward Thurlow and William Pitt, while Edmund Burke and Charles Fox stand for the Whigs. The illness of King George III from 1788 to 1790 raised concerns about his ability to rule effectively, prompting discussions about a limited regency for his son. This illustrative technique showcases intricate details that evoke nostalgia for bygone eras.
