Remarkable Wax Figures Impersonate Royal Family at Dublin
An eyewitness diary recalls a staged display in Dublin showing life-size figures of King George III, Queen Charlotte, and royal children. The scene fooled the observer who learned the likenesses were crafted by a skilled artist using ivory-like material. The account also notes naval and military appointments and ship movements in Dublin Port, including Port Mahon refit and several regiment commissions, with vessels and cargo lists from March.
