Sheet 21.75 x 20.5 in.; DOA 24 x 22.75 in.

A fascinating object that clearly shows what events of George III's reign were deemed most significant by his contemporaries. Surprisingly, the American Revolution is not underplayed.

Overall age toning; marginal losses; fold creases and some peripheral stains. The colors remain vibrant. Not examined out of the frame.
