  • Early 19th Century Pair of Engravings, 'George IV Visiting Dublin' by R. Havell
    By Robert Havell
    Located in Dublin 8, IE
    Early 19th century pair of engravings - 'George IV visiting Dublin' After Joseph Haverty RHA (1794-1864) 'The Triumphant Entry of George IV into Dublin'. 'His Majesty's Arrival', 'His Majesty's Embarkation'. A pair of coloured aquatints by Robert Havell. These prints record the visit of George IV to Ireland in 1821, when official business was overshadowed by the Kings' wish to visit Slane Castle. These are rare first state prints before the flags were re-engraved to fly at half mast for the death of Queen Caroline. This pair of aquatint prints by Robert Havell, are based on paintings by Joseph Haverty, a close friend of 'The Liberator', Daniel O'Connell. Haverty based his depictions on sketches made by John Lushington Reilly, whom Haverty has thoughtfully included in the embarkation scene. The figure of Reilly can be found in the central foreground sketching on horseback. The 18 day visit by George IV began on August 12th 1820, the Kings 59th birthday, and a mere three weeks after his coronation. The visit was arguably the first time a British monarch had visited the country without an accompanying army, in the traditional sense at least. George IV's visit was universally greeted with rejoicing from the populace. One of the first to extend his warmest welcome was Daniel O'Connell, who saw the visit as welcome support in his endeavours to achieve Catholic Emancipation...
