"This volume covers a turbulent period in English and European history: George III (from 1800-20), the Regency (1811-20), George IV (1820-30) and William IV (1830-37) ushering in the young Queen Victoria. The Napoleonic Wars and the Restoration of the Boubon Monarchy in France in 1815 also affect our story. It is the age of that greatest of dandies -- George "Beau" Brummell who paradoxically, fostered the simple well-cut lines of men's tailoring that were to reign supreme in Europe. It was the age, too, of the "Empire" line and the influence of ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt on women's fashions ..." -- Inside front cover.

Published to accompany a major exhibition at The Queen's Galleries in London and Edinburgh, this book provides new insights into George IV as a collector. Although George led a life bounded by convention, he was a genuine connoisseur who was able to form an unrivalled collection of paintings, porcelain and furniture. These he presented and displayed in a series of architecturally adventurous spaces. His acquisitions continue to form the backdrop to royal ceremony, a legacy that is one of the principal pillars of today's magnificent Royal Collection.
