About the Item
Great Seal of King George I Engraving – Harrison’s History of England c.1775
Description:
This antique print shows the Great Seal of King George I, engraved for Harrison’s *The History of England* published in 1786. The top medallion depicts King George I enthroned with allegorical figures of Justice and Liberty by his side, while the lower medallion shows an equestrian portrait of the king riding powerfully in armour with a cityscape in the background, likely representing his authority over Britain and Hanover. Such seals were used to authenticate official documents, symbolising royal legitimacy and state power.
This engraving is beautifully hand coloured in golden hues, enhancing its regal symbolism and making it highly decorative. Prints like this are valued for their heraldic interest and historical connection to the Hanoverian dynasty. The engraver meticulously captured the fine details of the seal’s iconography, from the delicate inscriptions to the realistic rendering of robes, horses, and armour.
Technique: Copperplate engraving with later hand colouring.
Publisher: Harrison’s *History of England*, 1786, London.
Condition summary: Good overall. Light toning and minor handling marks consistent with age. Rich colouring and clear impression.
Framing tips: This regal print will display elegantly with a gold leaf or antique gilt frame to echo the colouring of the seals, combined with a burgundy or dark forest green mount to complement the maroon background panel shown in the engraving. Alternatively, a classic black frame with a gold inner edge will create a refined historic presentation suitable for libraries, studies, or offices focused on English royal history and heraldry.
