EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print from the Liszt Collection captures a satirical scene of "Monstrous craws, at a new coalition feast". The cartoon depicts King George dressed as an old woman, accompanied by the Queen and the Prince of Wales. Seated around a basin perched on their laps, they eagerly spoon gold coins into their mouths, symbolizing their insatiable greed for wealth and power. The image showcases intricate details with pouches hanging from their necks resembling goitres. Each pouch is filled to the brim except for that of the Prince of Wales, whose empty pouch suggests his lack of financial gain in this corrupt alliance. In the background stands an open gate leading to the treasury, emphasizing how easily these rulers exploit public funds for personal gain. The engraving technique used in this artwork adds depth and texture to every line and stroke. This historic piece reflects Victorian-era art and culture while also serving as a reminder of political satire prevalent during that time. It evokes nostalgia for an era long gone but not forgotten. With its romanticized aesthetic and traditional illustrative style, this print transports us back to a bygone era where such caricatures were common forms of social commentary.
