From the publisher

George III enjoyed one of the longest reigns (1760-1820) in English history, but his reputation fluctuated throughout the 60 years, and its ups and downs were charted by some of the great caricaturists. This book offers a fascinating vision of how the English saw their king.

Description:
New York : Thames & Hudson, 2007. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover, 192 pages. Like new in publisher's shrink-wrap. George III enjoyed one of the longest reigns in English history (1760-1820) at a time when both England and the world were undergoing drastic changes. Yet he remains a dim figure, remembered mainly for his failures (losing America) and his "madness" (which turns out to have been not mental but physical). He was highly unpopular for much of his reign, and this judgment is spectacularly endorsed by hundreds of contemporary caricatures, many reproduced here for the first time. Among George's enemies were some of the wittiest artists of any age, and few took the trouble to be fair. This was the way the English nation saw its king, adding a new dimension to what is ultimately a tragic story. 200 color illustrations. Record # 350823
