When George III came to Hertfordshire, no expense was spared. 200 families were given tickets to Hatfield Park, and captains could reserve wagons to ensure their friends had a good view. As well as this print of a painting presented to the Marquis of Salisbury by Richard Livesay, to commemorate the occasion, you can see a published ‘Narrative of the Preparations’ including the food prepared. Both survive in the collection of John Morice, held by Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies.
