1. Title: "A Grand Audience with the Brobdingnagian Monarchs: A Fascinating Encounter between King George III, Queen Charlotte, and Napoleon as Gulliver This print depicts a remarkable moment in the annals of British history, as King George III and Queen Charlotte of England engage in an extraordinary audience with an unexpected guest. Seated regally on their chairs of state, the monarchs gaze intently at a small, rectangular tank filled with water, where Napoleon Bonaparte, dressed as the famed Lilliputian hero Lemuel Gulliver, sails his miniature boat. The year is 1804, and the date is the 10th of February. The scene is set in the grandeur of the royal palace, with Lord Salisbury standing reverently behind the king's chair, and four princesses and three pages in attendance, all fixated on the spectacle before them. Napoleon, having recently been defeated and exiled to the remote island of Saint Helena, was rumored to have requested an audience with the British monarchs to discuss terms of peace. This print, however, offers a fantastical interpretation of the encounter, drawing upon the popular literary work "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift. The juxtaposition of the towering Brobdingnagian monarchs and the diminutive Napoleon as Gulliver creates a whimsical and intriguing scene. The print serves as a testament to the power of imagination, as well as the enduring appeal of Swift's classic tale. This exquisite print, with its intricate details and vivid colors, offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of 19th-century Britain. It is a fascinating reminder of the power of storytelling and the enduring allure of the fantastical. Mary Evans Prints Online is proud to offer this rare and captivating print for historical research and personal enjoyment, providing a unique window into the past and a delightful escape into the realm of the imagination.
