The Garter Banquet, St. George's Hall, 1844. Creator: Stephen Sly

The Garter Banquet, St. George's Hall, 1844. Louis Philippe, King of France is a guest of Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle: Covers were laid in the evening, in St. George's Hall, for 130. The banquetting table was ornamented, if possible, in a still more gorgeous and magnificent manner, with gold plate, epergues, candelabra, vases, wine coolers, &c., than upon the two former occasions of the banquet in St. George's Hall during his Majesty's visit...The plate seen, are portions of the Prince of Wales's Plateau, a service entirely of solid gold. In the centre is the famous St. George's Candelabrum; on each side are smaller ones of the Hesperides and other classical subjects, the whole resting on massive slabs of plate glass, bound with gold'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I

The sleeping Ziethen, (1936). Creator: Unknown

The sleeping Ziethen, (1936). Der Schlafende Ziethen'. Cavalry officer Ziethen sleeps at the table of Frederick the Great. Hans Joachim von Zieten (1699-1786) also known as Zieten aus dem Busch, was a cavalry general in the Prussian Army. He served in four wars and was instrumental in several victories during the reign of King Frederick the Great of Prussia (1712-1786), most particularly at Hohenfriedberg and Torgau. When he allegedly fell asleep at the table, Frederick told the other guests to let Ziethen sleep as he had done so much for his country.
