George III A Life in Caricature

By Kenneth Baker - Hardback

George ruled through the golden age of English caricature. He suffered at the hands of the genius of Gillray; the robustness of Rowlandson; and the skilful darts of Cruikshank. Caricaturists were the paparazzi of the day, capturing the celebrities the King and Queen and the politicians. Many of these amusing and irreverent images have not been published before and provide new insight into the story of one of the nations most well known but least understood monarchs.
