A propos de cet article

Commemorative broadside handkerchief on cotton, approx. 45 x 57cm. A superb copy of a very rare item. BM Satires 14004, with one further copy recorded at the Lewis Walpole Library, Yale. A realistic view of the House receding in perspective to the Throne, above which is inset an oval bust portrait of Bartolomeo Pergami, wearing a cluster of five decorations. Some figures and objects have numbers referring to notes in the lower margin. Counsel are in a line across the foreground on each side of the central figures, who are Gurney the shorthand writer and Majocchi facing the interpreter. The Queen is inconspicuously seated behind Brougham. Eldon is at the table in front of the Woolsack. A handsome depiction of the trial of Queen Caroline held in the House of Lords during the summer and autumn of 1820, which ended in the failure of the Pains and Penalties Bill which aimed to annul the marriage of George IV to Caroline of Brunswick. The trial, brilliantly captured by Sir George Hayter's painting in the National Portrait Gallery, took place in a packed House of Lords. Shunned by the Prince of Wales from their first meeting, Caroline's marriage was a deeply unhappy one, united as she was to a hard-drinking, gluttonous, adulterous and ill-attentive husband. They separated two years after their wedding, Caroline moving to Blackheath where she was kept from her daughter Charlotte. Having the audacity to continue living, rumours of Caroline's love life swirled in polite society and the King began a 'delicate investigation' into her behaviour. During the Regency Caroline left England to tour Europe, engaging in 'increasingly eccentric' behaviour. On the death of George III (and George IV's accession) she returned to England claiming her right to become Queen. Her arrival prompted, as the government had anticipated and feared, widespread public rejoicing and she became a figurehead for a radical movement that sought to expose the iniquity of the government and the morally dubious new King. The trial 'was one of the most spectacular and dramatic events of the century. The Queen's progresses to and from Westminster. were attended by cheering crowds; deputations by the dozen visited Brandenburg House to present addresses, the newspapers published verbatim accounts of the Lords' proceedings, and the caricaturists on both sides had a field day. So obscene were some of the prints against the king that over £2500 was spent in buying them up and suppressing their publication.' Beginning on August 17th and continuing into November, it became clear that the government was not capable of passing the bill. Finally, on November 10th, it was announced that it would proceed no further. Although Caroline's triumph was greeted with great public jubilation, interest in her soon waned and the coronation, from which she was humiliatingly refused entry, acted to improve the reputation of the King and dampen Caroline's public support. A fortnight after the coronation - 'during which the King spent most of the service ogling Lady Conyngham, his current mistress' - Caroline fell ill and died on August 7th, 1821. (ODNB.).…
