- Abstract
-
Print showing George IV in a rage against family members (Frederick and William) who are unwilling to lend their support for the Bill of Pains and Penalties and his divorce from Caroline; he smashes a bottle of wine over the head of Frederick and prepares to throw another bottle at William. A woman, possibly Lady Conyngham, offers words of encouragement from behind a drape, while a man leaning through a window says, "Hollo Georgy, mind what y'our after if you offend Fred: he has got a Red Rod in Pickle for you."

Title etched below image.
Mounted to 58 x 39 cm.
Mounted (with one other print) on leaf 48 in volume 1 of the W.E. Gladstone collection of caricatures and broadsides surrounding the "Queen Caroline Affair."
Figures of "Duke of York," "Prince Leopold," "George IV," and "Lady Conyngham" are identified in pencil at bottom of sheet. - Provenance
- Sold by London's Dulau and Company to the New York City bookseller Ernest R. Gee in 1928. Earlier ownership by W.E. Gladstone is suggested by a manuscript note from Dulau formerly laid into the front the first volume (now in the object file), which states that "These came from the Gladstone Library at Court Hey, Broad Green. The manuscript notes written below the caricatures are in the handwriting of W.E. Gladstone." William Reese Company; February 2024.
