EDITORS COMMENTS

B. , this print showcases three prominent figures: William Frederick, 2nd Duke of Gloucester; Prime Minister Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington; and Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland and King of Hanover. The cartoon cleverly depicts these influential men as musical notes on a staff - with the sharp symbolizing the cunning nature of their political maneuvers. Dressed in their distinctive attire, each duke represents different factions within British society at that time. Doyle's artistic prowess shines through in his attention to detail and subtle symbolism. The composition captures not only the physical appearance but also hints at the underlying power struggles and alliances among these individuals.
