1. Title: A Royal Brewery, or How to Cook a Wife: A Satirical Print of George IV's Scandalous Affair with Caroline of Brunswick This satirical print, titled "A Royal Brewery, or How to Cook a Wife," dates back to January 1, 1821, and provides a scathing commentary on the infamous affair between King George IV of England and his estranged wife, Caroline of Brunswick. The print depicts George IV, dressed as a conning stoker, stirring a large vat labeled "Flames of Persecution" with a fierce expression on his face, declaring, "If this trial fail I'll brew no more." Behind him, a filthy composition receives the secrets of the brew, which spills onto a couple in an embrace, with the caption "How do you like it - non mi Ricordo?" Caroline, the brewer's wife, is shown passing by an open door, seemingly oblivious to the scandalous scene unfolding before her. On the right side of the print, three men are engaged in conversation. One advises, "Be just in all your dealings," while another holds a pitcher labeled "Trial," expressing his disbelief, stating, "I can't swallow this, it is all froth." The third man wonders aloud, "I wonder at our commander engaging in such a business." This print was created during a tumultuous period in British history, as George IV's affair with Caroline had led to a highly publicized trial of impeachment in the House of Lords. The trial, which centered on allegations of adultery and cruelty, ultimately ended in a hung jury, and the couple remained estranged until George IV's accession to the throne in 1820. The print's provocative title and imagery reflect the public's fascination with the scandal and the widespread criticism of the king's behavior. Overall, "A Royal Brewery, or How to Cook a Wife" is a fascinating snapshot of the social and political climate of early 19th-century Britain, offering a glimpse into the complex web of power, scandal, and public opinion that surrounded the monarchy during this period.
