This week’s competition prize is The First Georgians: Art and Monarchy 1714–1760, by Desmond Shawe-Taylor (ed.), (Royal Collection Trust, £49.50)

The First Georgians: Art & Monarchy 1714–1760 accompanies the exhibition of the same name currently showing at The Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace. In 1714 Georg Ludwig, Elector of Hanover in Germany, acceded to the British throne as George I, the country’s first constitutional monarch. ‘The First Georgians’ marks the 300th anniversary of the start of the Georgian era, exploring the rich artistic culture of the Hanoverian period. It showcases more than 300 hundred of the finest works of this period, many of which have never been on display before, and examines this revolutionary period in British life and the taste-setting of this new British royal family.
