EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving titled "Enchantments lately seen upon the Mountains of Wales or Shon-ap Morgans Reconcilement to the Fairy Princess" by James Gillray captures a scandalous moment in British history. The image depicts George, Prince of Wales, who later became King George IV, amidst a whirlwind of controversy and enchantment. The scene showcases the prince's formal separation from his wife, Princess Caroline of Brunswick, and his resumption of an affair with Mrs Maria Anne Fitzherbert. Disapproved by his father, King George III, this liaison was met with widespread criticism and scandal. In this satirical cartoon-like portrayal, we see Prince George dressed in an extravagant military uniform adorned with plumes and feathers. He is shown embracing Mrs Fitzherbert while being knocked off his perch by a voice from heavens symbolizing divine disapproval. Adding to the whimsical nature of the artwork are anthropomorphic elements such as a female figure with a body of goat and tail dancing alongside them. A cloud hovers above their heads as they stand on a mountainous coast. Gillray's caricature brilliantly captures the opulent lifestyle and wayward behavior associated with royalty during Georgian times. This print serves as both social satire and historical documentation of one man's unfaithfulness amidst regal surroundings.
