18th Century Georgian costumes come from the period of the four King George’s in the 18th and early 19th centuries. These were Hanoverian rulers from a Germanic background. George I came to the throne in 1714, following the death of his second cousin Anne, Queen of Great Britain. It was a trick of genealogy, as he was Anne’s closest surviving Protestant relative, combined with political fighting in Parliament, that brought him to the throne. George I was the start of a line of Georges who would rule until 1830. Although not a George, historians also tend to include William IV, who reigned until 1837, as this neatly covers the period until the start of the Victorian era.
Georgian England saw significant changes in British history. This was the era of the early Industrial Revolution. It was the period that saw significant developments in the British Empire, as well as the loss of the American colonies in the American War of Independence. It was the period in which working class men began to agitate for political representation, and although they would not achieve their goals for decades, this was the period where the beginnings of modern Britain were being started.
