Striking English aquatint engraving commemorating the coronation of King George IV, specifically the grand ceremony known as The Homage, which took place inside Westminster Abbey on 19 July 1821. The composition features the newly crowned king seated in regal splendor, surrounded by kneeling peers and clergy within the soaring architectural backdrop of the Abbey.
The inscription below reads:
"The Ceremony of the Homage, 19th July 1821. Architecture Augs. Pugin. Figures J. Stephanoff. William James Bennett Sculpst. Published as the Act directs Jany. 1824 by Sir George Nayler, Garter."
