EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "God, and your Majesty, protect mine innocence" captures a moment of scandal and political turmoil in 19th century Britain. Created by George Cruikshank, this satirical cartoon features a quote from Shakespeare's play "King Henry VIII". The central figure is the Prince Regent, who would later become King George IV. In a rush of passion, he enters the Princes Court with his mistress while being observed by a woman on the right who is possibly his wife, Queen Caroline. This image is part of "The Queens matrimonial ladder", a political pamphlet that was published after the opening of Queen Caroline's trial in August 1820. Queen Caroline, also known as Caroline of Brunswick, was the consort of King George IV. The trial exposed her alleged adulterous affairs and became a highly publicized scandal. George Cruikshank's wood engraved illustrations provide biting social commentary on the state of British society at that time. This particular caricature highlights themes such as adultery, marriage laws and legislation surrounding royal rights. The print offers us an intriguing glimpse into history through its intricate details and monochromatic composition. It serves as a reminder that even those in positions of power are not immune to personal scandals and moral dilemmas.
