This copper plate printed cotton textile, created between 1780 and 1790 by J. Seymour, features a repeating pattern depicting King George III and his family in various scenes. The design showcases a lively portrayal of the royal family in a pastoral setting, including figures engaged in activities like observing a hot air balloon and gathering around a tree. This intricate textile, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a prime example of the decorative arts of the late 18th century, highlighting the influence of Rococo and Neoclassical styles in English design during this period.
