His Royal Highness George Prince of Denmark. Lord High Admiral of England, General of Her Majesties Forces & Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports &c. Juvat ora tueri Mixta notis belli, placidam que gerentia pacem. Stat. Syl. 1.1
P. Schenck fec: Amst: Cum privil: 1705.
Fine mezzotint. Sheet 275 x 190mm (10¾ x 7½"). Trimmed to platemark.
George, prince of Denmark and duke of Cumberland (1653-1708), consort of Queen Anne. The second son of Frederick III, King of Denmark, George married Princess Anne in 1683 with a view to developing an Anglo-Danish alliance and thereby containing Dutch maritime power. He was therefore unpopular with the (Dutch-born) king after 1688, William III, and neither he nor Anne had much influence until Anne became Queen of England in 1702, but George was not made King. He was given the largely honorary appointment of Lord High Admiral in 1702 but played little active role. His DNB entry conclude: 'Prince George is usually dismissed as a boneheaded nonentity' but that 'his influence behind the scenes has been underestimated'. Dutch mezzotint after the portrait by Kneller.
