EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures an intimate moment in the life of King George III of England and his beloved consort, Queen Charlotte. The year is 1792, and the couple is depicted dining together in their opulent dining room. Despite their royal status, they are seen indulging in a simple and frugal meal, embodying the virtue of temperance. The caricature etching by James Gillray beautifully portrays the king and queen seated at a grand table adorned with a crisp white tablecloth. The scene is illuminated by a candelabra casting warm light on their faces as they engage in conversation over plates filled with salad and eggs. King George III appears regal yet approachable, wearing his distinguished coat and peruke wig while delicately holding his fork. Queen Charlotte exudes grace and elegance as she sits beside him, her attention focused on her plate. The details within this artwork transport us to another era - from the ornate wall frames to the hearth crackling with warmth nearby. Every element has been meticulously captured by Gillray's skilled hand. This print serves as a reminder that even those in positions of power can appreciate simplicity and moderation. It invites us to reflect on our own choices when it comes to indulgence versus restraint – truly capturing the essence of temperance through this timeless image of royalty enjoying a humble meal together.
