Traces the long reign of George III as reflected in the cartoons of his day, citing his pervasive unpopularity and the failures with which he is credited while offering insight into the tragic circumstances that marked his private life.
George III enjoyed one of the longest reigns (176-1820) in English history, but his reputation fluctuated throughout the sixty years, and its ups and downs were charted with unprecedented candour and wit by some of the great caricaturists. This title gives us a vision of how the English saw their king.
