![A view of Westminster Hall during the banquet given in honor of the Coronation [of his most gracious Majesty King George IV, 19 July 1821.]](jpegs/60420.jpg)
A view of Westminster Hall during the banquet given in honor of the Coronation [of his most gracious Majesty King George IV, 19 July 1821.] [ShowingThe Ceremony Of The King's Champion Throwing Down the Gage.]
Drawn by D. Dighton, Military Painter to His Majesty. Etched by Tho.s Dighton.
[London Published by J M.c Gowan, Great Windmall Street.][n.d. c.1826]
Etching, sheet 265 x 440mm (10½ x 17½"). Trimmed within plate and title top and bottom. Split top and bottom in one of the creases. Folds as normal.
A view of George IV's extravagent banquet held at Westminster hall after his coronation. The interior of Westminster Hall had been subdivided by wooden partitions to serve as courtrooms and these all had to be demolished to create the large space required for the coronation banquet, which required galleries for 2,934 spectators and 1,268 diners seated at 47 tables, some of which had to be sited in other parts of the palace. A temporary triumphal arch was erected at the north end of the hall in the style of a medieval castle. In accordance with the vogue for Romanticism and with his own taste for flamboyant clothes, George insisted that the participants should dress in Tudor and Stuart period costumes.
