Cruikshank, Isaac Cruikshank, William Heath and Theodore Lane, most with the publisher's imprint of G. Humphrey, slight dust soiling, disbound, book plate of Anne Renier and F. G. Renier, contemporary green limp card covers, a little worn and frayed, oblong folio A rare collection of caricatures intended to blacken the name of the Prince Regent's (later George IV) consort, The Prince Regent married his first cousin, Princess Caroline of Brunswick in 1795. It was a disastrous match. The couple loathed each other from the outset, and separated after the birth of their only daughter, Princess Charlotte. The Prince was unable to obtain a divorce before his coronation as King George IV, and he denied Caroline access to the ceremony, or the right to her title. Caroline had spent seven years in exile, travelling in the Mediterranean and Near East. She was followed closely by spies sent by the Prince Regent. In a bid to turn public opinion against Caroline, the Government employed Theodore Lane and others to caricature her alleged indiscretions, particularly her scandalous relationship with the Italian courtier, Bartolomeo Pergami. Despite the best efforts of her husband to defame her, Queen Caroline enjoyed widespread public support, and this was reflected in popular prints, where she was depicted as a beautiful and virtuous mother. However, rumours of her promiscuity and eccentric behaviour fuelled by the publication of licentious caricatures, damaged her reputation. She died suddenly in 1821, and was mourned by her supporters as the 'injured Queen of England'. Only one copy found on Copac. (1)
