The dress and the ironical title are intended to show that the king is acting the part of an oriental tyrant."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
The engraving has been mounted on wood and cut into 42 puzzle pieces. The frame is comprised of 10 pieces; the remaining 32 pieces each with a portrait of a king or queen of England, starting with William I and ending with George II, and one piece depicting Oliver Cromwell, contain extensive details about their lives and reigns. Below the title in the frame at the top are directions for the puzzle: "Directions. 1. Learn to put the heads in succession. 2. Get the dates of inner ovals & the houses of the respective kings. 3. Learn the names of the principal personages of each reign separately. 4. Get by heart the historical & chronological facts of the respective reigns with the dates of battles, treaties, &c." In the bottom portion of the framing pieces is a key to the contractions used in the text: "Contractions. K. king. Pr. prince. D. duke. E. earl. Abp. Archbishop. ... N.B. Capitals over the heads are the initials of the different houses. N. Norman. Pl. Plantagenet. L. Lancaster. Y. York. T. Tudor. S. Stuart. O. Orange. B. Brunswick. In the dates the year only of the current century is sometimes expressed as the rest is evident from the reign."
