Item description from seller

26x21 cm. Uncolored print in very good condition to near fine condition with very light soiling near the edges. This is a print satirizing Queen Caroline's (Princess Caroline of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, , estranged wife of King George IV) relationship with Bartolomeo Pergami. The print depicts Caroline and Pergami in a tent, with various suggestive items around them, hinting at their perceived intimacy. Yale University Catalogue Record 821.06.25.01: "Caroline lies on a sofa within a tent, dressed in her nightclothes and wearing a miniature of Bergami around her neck; her feathered hat rests on the ground, and on the small table beside her sit bottles of 'Brandy' and 'Essense of Bergamo' and a container of 'Rouge'. She smiles and looks over at Bergami, who sits beside her, his slippers and hat discarded on the floor below. Above, a man reaches into the tent to take a lit candle in the candlestick from Bergami, who hands it off with a pleased expression on his face. Beside him on the sofa is a book entitled 'The Pilgrim’s Guide'." Caroline died in August, 1821 just 2 months after this cartoon appeared. Published by G. Humphrey, 27 St. James's St., June 25, 1821.…
