George IV's attempt to divorce Queen Caroline following her return to England in June 1820 provoked a flood of hostile caricatures. Here the King and Queen are tied by the 'Matrimonial knot'. On the left stand Justice and Henry Brougham, the brilliant young Whig lawyer who represented her case. One the right Lord Sidmouth, the Home Secretary, tugs at Lady Conyngham, the King's former mistress, whose arms are round Lord Castlereagh, the Foreign Secretary.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm

Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
