EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Kremlin in Commotion: King George IV's Melodrama of Divorce" This print, dated December 1st, 1820, depicts a dramatic scene of chaos and upheaval at the heart of British royalty, aptly titled "The Kremlin in Commotion" or "The Grand Lama sick of the horn cholic." The image captures King George IV in a pitiful state, lying on the floor in agony, clutching his stomach. Nearby, a plan for divorce, a decanter and cup, cards, and dice lie scattered, suggesting the king's distress is not only physical but also emotional. In the background, the estranged Queen Caroline, dressed in regal attire, is being crowned by Justice while surrounded by her loyal supporters. The scene is filled with tension and drama, as the monarch's downfall and the queen's ascension unfold in a whirlwind of events. This British cartoon, not to be confused with the image licensing company, offers a vivid glimpse into the tumultuous personal life of King George IV and the political intrigue surrounding his divorce from Queen Caroline. The print, with its intricate details and expressive characters, offers a fascinating insight into the social and political climate of the time. The title "The Grand Lama sick of the horn cholic" is an intriguing one, but its meaning remains unclear. It may be a reference to the king's perceived weakness or susceptibility, or it could be a playful allusion to the exotic and mysterious East. Regardless, this print remains a captivating and intriguing piece of British historical art.
