The Constant Couple, 1786 - A Royal Journey to Windsor
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from the 18th century, we witness a moment frozen in time. The Prince of Wales, who would later become King George IV, is seen alongside his mistress Mrs Fitzherbert as they embark on a journey to Windsor Castle. This illustration, taken from "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century" beautifully captures the essence of their relationship and the era. The couple sits atop elegant horses, with the prince pointing towards their destination in the distance. Mrs Fitzherbert exudes grace and poise as she confidently rides beside her royal lover. Their attire reflects the fashion of that time period - intricate dresses for women and distinguished hats for men. As they traverse through Berkshire's picturesque landscapes, an adorable dog accompanies them faithfully by their side. The presence of this loyal pet adds warmth to an otherwise formal scene. Windsor Castle stands tall in all its grandeur against a backdrop of rolling hills. Its fortifications symbolize strength and power befitting royalty. Alongside their path lies a milestone signpost marking each mile traveled on this romantic journey. This print not only showcases historical figures but also highlights themes such as love, loyalty, and societal norms prevalent during that era. It serves as a reminder of how even those bound by duty can find solace in companionship outside conventional boundaries. Through George Paston's skillful handiwork and Emily Morse Symonds' pseudonymic guidance, we are transported back to witness this intimate moment between two influential individuals whose lives were forever entwined amidst whispers of scandal and secrecy.
