Georgian Satirical Print by William Heath \"Lady Conyngham: The Guard Wot Looks After the Sovereign\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a fabulous satirical print relating to the court of King George IV. This one is an absurd caricature of one of the King's many mistresses.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was made by William Heath and published by Thomas McLean in London (April 1829). So now nearly 200 years old.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a fine collection of prints by Heath in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London which lampoon the Royalty and Politicians of the Georgian era.  This print is a harder satirical print to source - another impression in just as fine condition is in the collection of the NPG.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy print comes from a 19th Century collector's album - and it has never been on display - so all the original hand-colouring is fresh with no fading. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you can see from all my photographs, it is in fine antique condition and has recently been professionally re-framed with a cream-coloured, acid-free window mount and simple black wooden frame. The new frame costs have been taken into account with my pricing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe image measures 34 x 23 cm and the frame is 47 x 34 cm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a lovely artwork - and a fabulous piece of British history. It is all ready for you to just hang on your wall. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe image shows Lady Conyngham (nee Denison) \u003cspan\u003e(1769-1861). She was the wife of Henry Conyngham, 1st Marquess of Conyngham and \u003c\/span\u003ethe mistress of King George IV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe is shown in the fashion of the day - although given her much fuller figure - the costume does look slightly absurd on her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe is in a sturdy pose with her feet firmly planted on the ground. She wears a long red military-style coat or tunic over a tight blue dress. She wears a wide-brimmed hat - and carries a large shoulder bag with two bugles across her body. She carries a large blunderbuss.  Isn't she just totally fabulous! Bit of a Hattie Jacques! ooh! ah Matron! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePostage will be with Royal Mail Tracked and Signed service \/ Parcelforce24. This will be a fully insured service and applied to your order at the checkout. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39312063332416,"sku":"MUSSELBURGH SMALLER SIZE New Black Frame","price":295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1829-georgian-satirical-print-by-william-heath-lady-conyngham-the-guard-wot-looks-after-sovereign-british-prints-258.webp?v=1786813145","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1892-georgian-satirical-print-by-william-heath-lady-conyngham","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
