NAYLER, George (1764-1831)

The Coronation of his most Sacred Majesty King George the Fourth. London: R. Clay for Henry George Bohn, 1837.

A full pictorial and written account of the coronation of King George IV. Though originally a miniature painter, George Nayler successfully pursued a career as a herald, paying £60 for a place in the College of Arms in 1793. On 25 November 1813 his standing was increased by a knighthood bestowed by the prince regent, 'possibly as a consolation for failing to be appointed Garter's deputy to invest the tsar with the Order of the Garter' (ODNB). He officiated as Clarenceux king of arms at the coronation of George IV on 19 July 1821, the last coronation to include the full ceremony of the banquet in Westminster Hall. His magnificent record of this occasion appeared posthumously. As Bohn outlines in the ‘Advertisement’, Nayler embarked on a five-part work, completing only two by his death in 1831. Bohn acquired the plates and augmented them with those of Whittaker’s Ceremonial to give a good overview of the event and the names of all participants for the first time. Bobins II, 694; Abbey Scenery 260; Lipperheide Se 10; Tooley 343.



Large folio (569 x 425mm). 45 plates, of which 42 are contemporary hand-coloured aquatints and 3 plain, after Stephanoff, Chalon, Pugin, Wild and others (occasional spot in text leaves, title partly detached, tiny spot in one or two plates, light crease in 2 prelims). Contemporary red half hard-grained morocco, ornately gilt-tooled morocco panel mounted on front cover, gilt spine lettered in 2 compartments, gilt edges (some wear, mostly at spine, front hinge loosening). Provenance: William Bagnall (armorial bookplate) — newspaper report of the sale of another copy in 1902 tipped to title-page.
