HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS - THE PRINCE REGENT OF GREAT BRITAIN

This title is normally associated with King George IV of the United Kingdom, who held it during the incapacity of his father, King George III . Regent's Park and Regent Street in London are named after him. This period is known as the English Regency, or just the Regency. The title was conferred by the Regency Act on February 5, 1811. Subject to certain limitations for a period, the Prince Regent was able to exercise the full powers of the King. The precedent of the Regency crisis in the previous decade was followed, from which George III recovered before it was necessary to appoint a Regent. The Prince of Wales continued as regent until his father's death in 1820, when he became George IV. Familiarly nicknamed "Prinny", George was unpouplar in many quarters, and was the subject of scurrilous cartoons in the press of the day relating to his various extravagances.

PUBLISHED DATE dated JUNE 16, 1815
ARTIST JOHN ROMNEY - 1786-1863
PUBLISHER RICHARD EVANS, WHITE'S ROW, SPITALFIELDS

CONDITION: This original hand-coloured engraving was printed on early nineteenth century wove paper and with large margins extending beyond the plate-mark on all sides. In excellent condition throughout, retaining all its fine lines and rich, early hand colouring. Engraving bears Richard Evans's address and publication date JUNE 16, of 1815 Clearly this early equestrian etching of an allied commander forms a most unique and important example of military history from the Napoleonic Wars.
