Georgiana Spencer, also known as Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, was a prominent figure in 18th-century British society. Her captivating beauty and charismatic personality made her the subject of numerous portraits and caricatures. One such portrait is the chromolitho titled "Georgiana Spencer, Duchess of Devonshire, " which beautifully captures her elegance and grace. Another artwork, a pastel on paper called "Portrait of Georgiana Spencer, " showcases her delicate features and radiant smile. Valentine Green's creation from 1780 depicts Georgiana in all her regal splendor as the Duchess of Devonshire. Gainsborough Dupont's painting from around 1787-1796 further immortalizes her timeless beauty. But it wasn't just her looks that fascinated people; Georgiana was also politically active during a time when women had limited influence. Satirical prints like "The Golden Apple" (1785) and "The Devonshire" (1784) humorously depict her involvement in political campaigns to secure votes for favored candidates. Thomas Rowlandson's works such as "Reynard Put To His Shifts" (1784) and "Madam Blubber On Her Canvass" (1784) satirize the intense canvassing efforts undertaken by Georgiana during elections. These prints capture both the seriousness and absurdity of political maneuvering at that time. Another print titled "Procession to The Hustings After A Successful Canvass" (1784) shows the celebratory mood after one such victorious campaign. And who could forget Mrs. Hob and Nob accompanying Georgiana on a night canvass with their bosom friends in tow? This amusing scene is depicted in Rowlandson's work called "Dark Lanthern Business. " Georgiana Spencer left an indelible mark on history through not only her fashionable style but also through her involvement in politics—a rare feat for women of her time.
