His Most Gracious Majesty George the Fourth Dedicated by Permission to His Royal Highness the Duke of York By His Royal Highnesses obedient Humble Servant, Charles James Scott.
Engraved by Thomas F. Ranson, from a Drawing by the Late Edmund Scott.
Published by C.J. Scott, 2 Bond Street, Brighton, and by Messrs. Colnaghi & Co. Cockspur Street, London. [n.d. c.1820 - 1828]
Line engraving. 423 x 300mm. 16" 2/3 x 11¾".
George IV (George Augustus Frederick; 12 August 1762 - 26 June 1830) was king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and Hanover from 29 January 1820 until his death. He had earlier served as The Prince Regent when his father, George III, suffered from a relapse into insanity from an illness that is now suspected to have been porphyria. The Regency, George's nine-year tenure as Prince Regent, which commenced in 1811 and ended with George III's death in 1820, was marked by victory in the Napoleonic Wars in Europe. George was a stubborn monarch, often interfering in politics, especially in the matter of Catholic emancipation, though not as much as his father. For most of George's regency and reign, Lord Liverpool controlled the government as Prime Minister. George is remembered largely for the extravagant lifestyle that he maintained as prince and monarch. By 1797 his weight had reached 17 stone 7 pounds (111 kg or 245 lb), and by 1824 his corset was made for a waist of 50 inches (127 cm). He had a poor relationship with both his father and his wife, Caroline of Brunswick, whom he even forbade to attend his coronation. He was a patron of new forms of leisure, style and taste. He commissioned architects John Nash to build the Royal Pavilion in Brighton and remodel Buckingham Palace, and Sir Jeffry Wyatville to rebuild Windsor Castle. He was largely instrumental in the foundation of the National Gallery, London and King's College London.

Hand-coloured etching. 245 x 405mm (9¾ x 16"). Trimmed, slight creasing.
The Prince of Wales as the Prodigal Son, turning his back on Fox and Sheridan to reconcile with his father, George III. The Prince had ranged himself against the Foxites in an effusively loyal speech on the proclamation against seditious writings (May 1792). He was anxious to serve abroad, and his hopeless financial position made him wish for reconciliation with the King. After the breach in 1792 he did not again meet Fox and his friends till a dinner at Carlton House in Mar. 1797. The Prince of Wales stands (left) turning from, but looking towards, Fox and Sheridan, ragged sans-culottes, who kneel (right) on the farther side of a rail inscribed 'Hitherto shall ye go & No Further'. In the background and on the extreme left is the King. Fox and Sheridan weeping, making imploring gestures towards the Prince. From Fox's coat-pocket projects a letter with a tricolour cockade. From Sheridan's pocket issues a paper.

Wellington, in uniform, stands before George IV, who sits on the throne. Wellington holds up a large cross-hilted sword (the Sword of State). He holds behind him his large plumed cocked hat, from one point of which hangs a paper reading 'Military Commission to throw Dust in John Bulls eyes'. Two papers project from his pockets: Church Patronage and Army Patronage. Lady Conyngham (George's final mistress) peers out from behind a curtain, looking satisfied. The crown is on a table beside Wellington. Etched by William Heath, with his characteristic 'Paul Pry' emblem lower right.

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.] [Showing The 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 extravagant 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.

Hand-coloured etching. Platemark: 250 x 350mm (9¾ x 13¾"). Creases to sheet. Repeaired tear to lower edge of sheet. Sheet slightly grubby with small stains.

In 1806 he requested 400 guineas for his son to be an articled solicitor and went on to write a pamphlet 'exposing' the Prince's conduct which went through nine editions in year this print was published. Jeffery's pamphlet started a pamphlet war, as part of which the theatrical writer Gilliland wrote 'Diamond cut Diamond' in defence of the Prince.
