Footnote
Szegedi Szuts (1893-1959) born Istvan Szegedi Szuts was a Hungarian painter and illustrator. This landmark poster shows the Monument to King George III at Savernake Forest, Wiltshire. Savernake is a surviving remnant of one of Wiltshire's ancient 'Royal Forests' much beloved by Norman kings. When King George III recovered from his illness, the First Earl of Ailesbury, Thomas Bruce, built the column that can be found in the south-east corner of Savernake Forest.
