English, 1790

The chivalric plume of 'three ribboned feathers' adopted in 1780 by George , Prince of Wales (later George IV), was popularised in 1788 as an ornamental patriotic motif through Messrs A. Hepplewhite & Co.'s pattern-book entitled, The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Guide, whose publication coincided with a time that the Prince was expected to act as Regent during his father's temporary illness.
