King George IV Greetings Card
Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:
King George IV NPG 5389
© National Portrait Gallery, London
by Richard Cosway
This miniature depicts George, Prince of Wales in van Dyck-style masquerade costume with a heavily powdered grey wig. It is mounted in a fine gold locket with a 'true-love' lock of plaited hair on the reverse. The precious and intimate nature of this object suggests that it was intended as a love-token for either Mrs Fitzherbert or Mrs Crouch, the Prince's two lovers in 1792.
Card size: 125mm x 175mm
Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
