About the Item

King George III Coronation Portrait Engraving, Corbould Milton Description: A striking and highly decorative engraved portrait of King George III (1738–1820), depicted in full coronation regalia during the early years of his reign. This finely executed engraving captures the British monarch seated in a position of authority, holding a sceptre while the Imperial State Crown rests prominently beside him—symbols of royal power and sovereignty. The composition is rich in detail, presenting George III draped in elaborate ermine-lined coronation robes and adorned with the insignia of the Order of the Garter. The careful rendering of textures—from the softness of the fur to the intricate decoration of the throne and garments—demonstrates the skill of the engraver and reflects the high standards of late 18th-century British printmaking. The plate is based on a design by Richard Corbould (del.), a respected British artist known for his historical and literary subjects, and was engraved by Thomas Milton (sculp.), a prominent engraver of the period. Together, they produced a refined and authoritative image of the king, intended for a public eager to engage with representations of monarchy and state power. Portraits of George III remain highly collectible, not only for their historical significance—spanning the American Revolution and the Napoleonic era—but also for their strong decorative appeal. The formal composition, regal symbolism, and balanced design make this engraving particularly well-suited for display in both traditional and contemporary interiors. This is an original antique engraving, not a reproduction. All items we offer are authentic period works of art over 100 years old. The prints are sold unframed; any framed images are shown for presentation and interior inspiration only and may not always be to scale. Condition: Good condition, with age-related toning and light surface wear. Minor spotting and faint discoloration in the margins. Some small creases and handling marks consistent with age. Edges intact with no major tears. Framing tips: This engraving benefits from a classic presentation in a dark walnut or ebonized frame with a wide ivory or cream mount, enhancing the contrast and emphasizing the rich detail of the composition. Particularly effective as a focal piece or as part of a gallery wall of royal or historical portraits. Technique: Engraving Maker: Thomas Milton after Richard Corbould, British, late 18th century
