EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures King George IV of England (1762-1830) in his ceremonial military dress, a testament to his deep connection with the British armed forces. At the age of 42, George IV had already ascended to the throne in 1820, following the death of his father, King George III. This portrait, taken around 1830, showcases the monarch's high rank and regal authority. The King wears an elaborate red uniform adorned with gold braid, epaulettes, and a grand collar. The collar, known as the "Star of the Garter," is a symbol of the Order of the Garter, the oldest and most prestigious British chivalric order. The star is decorated with white enamel and set with rubies, and the collar is held together by a golden chain. George IV's military attire is not only a display of power but also a reflection of his personal interest in the military. He served in the army during the American Revolutionary War and was a colonel of several regiments. The King's dedication to the military is further emphasized by the presence of the epaulettes on his shoulders, which denote his military rank. The image of King George IV in his ceremonial military dress is a significant piece of historical documentation, providing a glimpse into the grandeur and opulence of the British monarchy during the early 19th century. This photograph, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable addition to any collection focused on British history, royalty, or military history.
